Research indicated that visual discrimination training could compensate for the impulsive response style of first-graders on reading tests. (GW)

Research shows that children of about 10 years can remember photographs of faces upside down almost as well as those shown upright and are easily fooled by simple disguises. This ability to encode orientation-specific configurations of a face may reflect maturational changes in the right cerebral hemisphere. (MLH)

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)

Auditory and visual recognition were studied in subjects ranging in age from 10 to 60 years. In comparison with perceptual and response factors, memory scanning time is relatively insensitive to age differences, and auditory recognition involves the use of a pre-linguistic memory system insensitive to age differences.
