Children and the Aged: Attitudes, Contact, and Discriminative Ability
The International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 1984Attitudes toward older versus younger persons, age discrimination performance, and seriation ability were assessed in sixty-eight three- to six-year-old children. Children's contact with people over seventy was also examined. Children preferred young people over old people in all situations in the attitudinal portion of the study.

Effects of aging and depression on mnemonic discrimination ability
Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition, 2017Aging and depression have been found to be associated with poorer performance in mnemonic discrimination. In the current study, a two-response format mnemonic similarity test, Cognitive Drug Research MST, was used to compare these effects. Seventy-six participants were tested; with 52 participants in the young group, aged 18-35 years, and 24 ...

Effects of Age and Reading Ability on Visual Discrimination
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 198160 children were shown 45 pairs of cartoons with the task of searching through the first cartoon and detecting which sequence of colors, geometrical patterns, or letters had the same couple of elements drawn in the second cartoon. Older children and those who were able to read performed better.

Field-Dependence and Color Discrimination Ability in Females
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1983Previous research has shown that field-independent males are very superior to field-dependent males in ability to discriminate colors. The research reported here examined the same relationship with females. 30 females were tested twice on the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue Test.

[Gender and phoneme discrimination ability].
Laryngo- rhino- otologie, 2005Boys tend to acquire language skills later than girls. Furthermore, specific language impairment and dyslexia are more often diagnosed in males than in females indicating that efficiency of phonological processing may be gender dependent. Phoneme discrimination tests tap some phonological processing abilities.

An experiment to test the discriminating ability of graphologists
Personality and Individual Differences, 1992Abstract Four leading U.K. graphologists were invited to assign handwritten scripts to groups with contrasting personality or occupation: good or bad secretaries; high- or low-flyers in business; and actors/ actresses or monks/nuns. Correct assignments were made for 65% of the scripts, significantly more than chance expectation, with apparent ...

Landmark discrimination in the rat: A measure of allocentric spatial ability.
Behavioral Neuroscience, 1994A landmark discrimination task similar to that previously used with monkeys was adapted to measure allocentric spatial ability in rats. Rats were trained to approach one of two food wells, placed 36 cm apart, based on the proximity of the landmark. During initial training, the landmark was adjacent to the baited food well (0 cm). As training progressed,

Tactual discrimination of softness: abilities and mechanisms
1996The ability of human subjects to discriminate softness was investigated. In addition, the associated mechanistic cues and the peripheral neural codes on which the discrimination may be based were investigated using monkeys. Two sets of compliant objects were constructed: (1) those with a deformable surface, composed of transparent silicone rubber of ...

[Effect of drugs on human discrimination ability].
Psychiatrie, Neurologie, und medizinische Psychologie, 1984The effects of phenobarbital, nitrazepam, diazepam, medazepam, chlordiazepoxide, phenytoin, carbamazepine, thioridazine and caffeine on the detail discrimination ability of healthy subjects were compared with those of a placebo by means of the d2-test and the Bourdon-Wiersma test. The impairment of performance induced by phenobarbital, thioridazine and
