Cunningham, Alan – Visual Arts Research, 1997
Investigates the way that young children make aesthetic judgments about art works made by peers. Indicates that there are three phases in response formation: an initial response, a judgment based on more formal criteria, and an emotional response. Notes that children often needed prompting questions to reach the latter phases. (DSK)

Matthews, John – Visual Arts Research, 1994
Reports on the beginnings of visual representation in early childhood by using longitudinal studies in both London, England and Singapore. Finds evidence to support the theory that underlying children's use and organization of visual media are certain robust forms of behavior, or deep structures. (CFR)
