Brandimonte, M. A.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1992
Adults and 6 and 10 year olds performed tasks in which they combined and subtracted parts of visual images to discover new images. Results indicated that adults and children were able to transform a mental image so as to yield another image. (BC)

Welk, Dorette Sugg – Journal of Nursing Education, 2002
Sophomore nursing students (n=162) examined scenarios depicting typical and atypical signs of heart attack. Examples were structured to include essential and nonessential symptoms, enabling pattern recognition and improved performance. The method provides a way to prepare students to anticipate and recognize life-threatening situations. (Contains…

Apperly, Ian. A.; Williams, Emily; Williams, Joelle – Child Development, 2004
In 4 experiments 120 three-to four-year-old non readers were asked the identity of a symbolic representation as it appeared with different objects. Consistent with Bialystok (2000), many children judged the identity of written words to vary according to the object with which they appeared but few made such errors with recognizable pictures.…

Hayden, Robert W. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2005
The data illustrate outliers that are not mistakes and not observations that are unusually high or low. The reasons for them are all interesting historically. They illustrate that "outliers" need not be errors but may instead be particularly interesting cases. The data also illustrate that different data displays may differ in their ability to…

Lotz, Anja; Kinder, Annette – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
In this article, the authors report 2 experiments that investigated the sources of information used in transfer and nontransfer tasks in artificial grammar learning. Multiple regression analyses indicated that 2 types of information about repeating elements were crucial for performance in both tasks: information about the repetition of adjacent…

Snelsire, Robert W. – 1969
The problem of designing computer programs that will approach human capabilities in pattern recognition is discussed. Human beings are much better at recognizing patterns that are highly structured than at recognizing patterns that are not. In contrast, a computer system's performance in pattern recognition is almost independent of the amount of…

Gunderson, Virginia M.; Sackett, Gene P. – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Examined the development of pattern recognition in infant pigtailed macaques using the familiarization novelty technique. Results indicate that by at least 200 days postconception subjects show a consistently reliable visual response to novelty. (Author/RH)

Mwanalushi, Muyunda – Child Development, 1974
Thirty elementary school students were assigned to one of three experimental conditions, (labeling, imagery, or control) in a pattern reproduction task. (ST)

Gaines, Rosslyn – Developmental Psychology, 1973
Young children were given tasks in which they were to identify small variations in complex patterns. Results indicated the children were able to perform the task more accurately than developmental models would have predicted. (ST)

McKenzie, Beryl; Day, R. H. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1971
An operant conditioning technique was used to study visual discrimination of simple patterns by infants aged 6-12 weeks. The appropriate direction of head turning to the patterns was developed and maintained by social reinforcement. Results showed that visual discriminative control of the direction of head turning can be achieved. (WY)

Younger, Barbara A.; Cohen, Leslie B. – Child Development, 1983
Investigates the ability of four-, seven-, and ten-month-old infants to perceive and base novelty responses on correlations among perceptual attributes in a category-like context. In a habituation-dishabituation paradigm, ten-month-old infants clearly responded on the basis of the correlation among attributes, while four- and seven-month-old…
