Tools to measure sensory appeal of menus planned for children.
The Menu Variety Checklist and Score Sheet is a tool to facilitate evaluation of sensory appeal. Comparisons made across evaluators and across menus show it to be more reliable and more readily diagnostic than subjective summary ratings. Although further research and development are needed to make it more precise and test its criterion validity, the checklist has sufficient advantages to make it a useful starting place or backup tool in research and clinical applications.

Age, familiarity, and visual processing schemes.
In a partial-report task adults and 5-yr.-old children identified stimuli of two types (common objects and familiar common objects) in two representations (black-and-white line drawings or full color photographs). It was hypothesized that familiar items and photographic representation would enhance the children's accuracy. Although both children and adults were more accurate when the stimuli were from the familiar set, children performed more accurate when the stimuli were from the familiar set, children performed poorly in all stimulus conditions. Results suggest that the age difference in this task reflects the "concrete" nature of the perceptual process in children.

A musical conservation problem.
7 piano pupils (8 to 16 yr.) judged which of two printed musical passages required more playing time. It was hypothesized that younger pupils would not conserve the indicated rhythm. Results support the hypothesis, showing that these children based their judgments on spatial/perceptual characteristics rather than on implied quantitative dimensions of the stimuli. Implications for developing non-traditional teaching methods are discussed.
