Selective Attention Deficits in Poor Readers? Dichotic Listening, Speeded Classification, and Auditory and Visual Central and Incidental Learning Tasks.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pelham, William E. – Child Development, 1979
Results as a whole did not support the hypothesis that poor readers show deficits in selective attention relative to age-matched normal readers. (RH)

Is a Picture Worth a Thousand Words? Preference for Auditory Modality in Young Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sloutsky, Vladimir M.; Napolitano, Amanda C. – Child Development, 2003
Four experiments tested the hypothesis that the importance of linguistic labels for young children's conceptual organization stems from a privileged processing status of auditory input over visual input. Findings indicated that when auditory and visual stimuli were presented separately, 4-year-olds were likely to process both kinds of stimuli,…

The Effects of Stimulus Complexity and Sensory Modality on Reaction Time in Normal and Retarded Readers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Blank, Marion; And Others – Child Development, 1975
Intra- and crossmodal performance of normal and retarded third-grade readers were compared in a reaction-time task. Results suggest that the demands of stimulus complexity within the visual modality rather than the demands of crossmodal shifting were related to reading ability. (Author/ED)

Children's Sensitivity to Comprehension Failure in Interpreting a Nonliteral Use of an Utterance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ackerman, Brian P. – Child Development, 1986
Investigates whether 7- and 10-year-old children and adults are sensitive to their own and another listener's failure to understand literal and nonliteral (sarcastic) uses of utterances. (HOD)

Development of Audiovisual Integration in Normal and Retarded Readers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Vande Voort, Lewis; And Others – Child Development, 1972
The results fail to support the hypothesis that intersensory integration is the sole or even the primary developmental skill accounting for matching task improvement with increasing age. The hypothesis that retarded readers fail to develop skills in intersensory integration is also not supported. (Authors)

Infants' Perception of the Audible, Visible, and Bimodal Attributes of Multimodal Syllables.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lewkowicz, David J. – Child Development, 2000
Three experiments investigated 4-, 6-, and 8-month-olds' perception of the audible, visible, and combined attributes of bimodally specified syllables. Results suggested that at 4 months, infants attended primarily to the featural information, at 6 months primarily to the asynchrony, and at 8 months to both features independently. (Author/KB)

Newborn Auditory Brainstem Evoked Responses (ABRs): Prenatal and Contemporary Correlates.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Murray, Ann D. – Child Development, 1988
Presented are a literature review and new data on correlates of newborn auditory brainstem evoked responses (ABRs). Concludes that disorders of the central components of the ABR may be more of prenatal than of postnatal origin. The I-V interval had low but reliable correlations with four of 11 Brazelton scale variables. (RH)

Bayley's Infant Behavior Record: Behavioral Components and Twin Analyses.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Matheny, Adam P., Jr. – Child Development, 1980
Factor analysis of 25 rating scales from Bayley's infant behavior record were performed for a sample of about 300-400 infant twins tested one or more times between 3 and 24 months of age. The analyses provided five major and two minor factors that were considerably consistent at all ages. (Author/DB)
