Control of Children's Observing Responses by Information Feedback during Visual Discrimination Learning.
Whiteley, John H.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v39 n2 p265-83 Apr 1985
Subjects from kindergarten-age to adult participated in four experiments. In order to view the stimuli, subjects in three experiments activated lights in viewing boxes; in the fourth experiment, stimulus fixations were measured using a corneal reflection technique. Results supported the view that visual observing is controlled by cognitive processes associated with hypothesis testing. (Author/CB)
