A Cross-Sequential Analysis of Developmental Differences in Speed of Visual Information Processing.
Nettelbeck, T.; Wilson, C.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v40 n1 p1-22 Aug 1985
Examines development of processing speed in three backward masking studies, where presentation of second stimulus figure (mask) within a critical time interval from arrival of first figure (target) interrupts processing of first. Results indicate that processing time increases until early adolescence; changes are less marked after 13 years of age. (Author/BE)
