Pomerantz, James R.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1977
The experiments reported here are aimed at exploring in more detail the possibility that context can improve perception itself. In particular, they are concerned with clarifying the conditions under which context might aid perception and with localizing the stage of processing at which context would have its effects. (Author)

Alexander, Richard – Developmental Psychology, 1977
Experiment 1 compared 6- and 8-year-old boys in inter- and intramodal matching of fast or slow spatiotemporal patterns with long or short interpattern intervals. Experiment 2 made the same comparisons for 7- and 9-year-old boys using temporal patterns. (Author/JMB)

Enns, James T. – Developmental Psychology, 1987
Measured the pattern goodness effect at visual encoding stages and short term memory stages in observers aged 6 to 22 years using a speeded sequential same-different paradigm. Found goodness effects were larger in short term memory for all subjects, memory effects decreased with age, and encoding effects remained constant. (SKC)
