This study investigates the visual information storage capacity in 5-, 8-, 11-, and 21-year olds. A partial report technique is used to assess the amount of information that children can take in and what the course of information loss was over time. (DP)

Two studies examined the role played by stimulus affective characteristics in determining children's patterns of visual selection. (Editor)

This investigation also studied the relationship between gestational age and preferences for contour. (CB)

Some infants, soon after birth, are capable of storing visual information as reflected in their ability to detect and respond to change in the immediate environment. (Author)

Testing Pollack's hypothesis that decreases in effective contour contrast (resulting from a decrease in receptor sensitivity with age or from a change in actual stimulus contrast) lead to decreases in illusion magnitude. Conclusions are questioned by Sjostrom and Pollack (PS 501 740). (Author/MB)

Glanzer and Clark's verbal loop hypothesis" appeared to be contradicted by these data. (Author)

Artifically constructed words were presented to kindergarten children, first graders, undergraduate and graduate students. (PR)

Outline faces were presented for rating along six dichotomous attributes with features varying systematically. Differences were found to be largely attentional, with certain features invariably being differentially employed and associated with certain attributes across all samples. (WY)
