Ball, William A. – 1977
In this study examining infants' responses to optical expansion, 18 infants between 36 and 61 days old watched expanding shadows that differed in the terminal location of the center of expansion and the number of dimensions undergoing change. Babies consistently rotated their heads upward during expansion of a closed figure when the center of…

JOHNSON, MARJORIE SEDDON – 1966
WORD PERCEPTION IS DISCUSSED NOT AS A MECHANICAL TOOL BUT AS A THINKING PROCESS. HOW INDIVIDUALS PERCEIVE PRINTED FORMS DEPENDS ON THE STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR READING ABILITIES. THE BEGINNING READER PROCEEDS ON THE BASIS OF WORD FORMS HE RECOGNIZES AS WHOLES. LATER HE USES CONTEXT AND PICTURE CLUES, VERBAL CONTEXT, GENERAL CONFIGURATIONS,…

EDMONDS, ED M. – 1967
IN A REPRODUCTION TASK WHICH INCLUDED INSTANCES OF SEVERAL SCHEMATA MIXED TOGETHER, SUBJECTS LEARNED TO DISTINGUISH AMONG THE SCHEMATA WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF RESULTS. A BEST FITTING EQUATION DESCRIBING PERFORMANCE AS A FUNCTION OF NUMBER OF REPRODUCTION TRIALS ACCURATELY PREDICTED LEARNING WITH NEW SUBJECTS AND PATTERNS RANDOMLY SAMPLED FROM A…

Turner, Robert V.; Fisher, Maurice D. – 1970
As a part of a Title III project, a program was initiated to provide disadvantaged kindergarten children with planned perceptual-motor training exercises. This study investigates the effects of that program on the perceptual development and academic readiness of a group of 76 such children. The exercises, derived from the Kephart developmental…

Lewis, Charles – 1970
Sensitivity data is defined as involving two response categories, with responses observed at different levels of some variable. The responses are taken to indicate sensitivity to the variable and may be labeled "positive" or "negative." The countback method offers confidence limits for the 50% point, the level of the variable…

McGuire, Iris; Turkewitz, Gerald – 1977
The relationship between visual stimulus intensity and directional finger movements was examined in infants of two age groups (16 infants, 10 to 15 weeks old, and 8 infants, 20 to 25 weeks old). Two hypotheses derived from Schneirla's Approach-Withdrawal Theory were examined: (1) that responses of the younger, but not of the older infants, would…

McGurk, Harry; MacDonald, John – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1978
Outlines two competing hypotheses concerning the nature of inter-modal sensory development. Research on auditory-visual coordination in young human infants is reviewed. It is concluded that the data support the notion of ontogenetic development being a process of intergration between sensory systems that are initially relatively independent.…

Stehouwer, R. Scott; And Others – Adolescence, 1985
Explored differential cognitive-perceptual distortion in depression for adolescent (N=25) versus adult female (N=25) psychiatric inpatients with diagnosis of neurotic or reactive depression. Results from Beck Depression Inventory indicated significant similarities between groups in anger at self and sense of failure. Results also indicated several…

Cunningham, Joseph G.; Odom, Richard D. – Child Development, 1986
In the first of two tasks, 5- and 11-year-olds recalled the array location of social photographs of an unfamiliar adult expressing anger, disgust, fear, joy, and shame. In the second task, subjects were tested for their incidental recall of those features which were not previously isolated. Results indicated a mouth-eyes-nose hierarchy for…

Ruff, Holly A. – Developmental Psychology, 1985
Two studies investigated three- and five-month-old infants' ability to discriminate and recognize different motions of rigid objects. Also explored was the nature of stimulus information which makes such discrimination and recognition possible. The results are discussed in terms of disruptions in the optic array. (Author/DST)

Smith, Linda B. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1985
Examined whether a holistic magnitude relation governs children's object comparisons. Objects varying on two dimensions of magnitude, size, and saturation were classified by three-, four-, and five-year-olds. Results indicated that younger children were sensitive to global magnitude as well as to overall similarity. (Author/BE)

Zelniker, Tamar; Oppenheimer, Louis – Child Development, 1976
The effectiveness of different training and transfer test conditions in promoting perceptual learning in impulsive kindergarten children was investigated. The results provide guidelines for designing effective training methods for improving discrimination learning and problem solving in impulsive children. (Author/SB)

Ruff, Holly A.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1976
Recognition by infants, 13 and 22 weeks old, was tested by pairing novel stimuli with the familiarization stimulus at different points in an experimental session. Younger subjects showed no recognition of either two- or three- dimensional stimuli. Older subjects demonstrated more recognition in the three-dimensional condition. (MS)

Milewski, Allan E. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1976
Human infants' discrimination of changes in internal and external elements of compound visual patterns was investigated in four experiments employing a familiarization-novelty paradigm in which visual reinforcing patterns were presented contingent upon rate of high-amplitude nonnutritive sucking.
