A Novel Method to Investigate How Dimensions Interact to Inform Perceptual Salience in Infancy
How physical dimensions govern children's perception, language acquisition, and cognition is an important question in developmental science. Here, we use the psychophysical technique of maximum likelihood conjoint measurement ( MLCM ) as a novel approach to investigate how infants combine information distributed along two or more dimensions. MLCM is based on a signal detection model of decision that allows testing of several models of how observe…
The effect of colour on children's cognitive performance
BACKGROUND: The presence of red appears to hamper adults' cognitive performance relative to other colours (see Elliot & Maier, 2014, Ann. Rev. Psychol. 65, 95). AIMS AND SAMPLE: Here, we investigate whether colour affects cognitive performance in 8- and 9-year-olds. METHOD: Children completed a battery of tasks once in the presence of a coloured screen that was one of eight colours and once in the presence of a grey screen. Performance was assess…
Infant color preference for red is not selectively context specific
It has been proposed that human infants, like nonhuman primates, respond favorably to red in hospitable contexts, yet unfavorably in hostile contexts (Maier, Barchfeld, Elliot, & Pekrun, 2009). Here, we replicate and extend the study (Maier et al., 2009) whose findings have been used to support this hypothesis. As in Maier et al., 1-year-old infants were shown a photograph of a happy or angry face before pairs of colors were presented, yet in the…
