Developmental changes in the processing of hierarchical shapes continue into adolescence
Article Abstract:
The study shows that adult like sensitivity to the local levels of visual forms develops between 10 and 14 years of age. The hemispheres are differently sensitive to the local versus global levels of visual patterns by 10 years of age and the hemispheric specialization is found to be present in infancy even though their ability to attend to the local level is not adultlike.

Why 8-year-olds cannot tell the difference between Steve Martin and Paul Newman: factors contributing to the slow development of sensitivity to the spacing of facial features
Article Abstract:
Results from the three experiments conducted indicate that low salience, poor encoding efficiency, and limited memory can partially account for 8-year-old's poor performance on face processing tasks that require sensitivity to the spacing of features, a kind of configural processing that underlies adults' expertise.

Developmental changes in face processing skills
Article Abstract:
Research suggests that children are less adept at face recognition if the face's orientation is changed due to the slower development of sensitivity in children to perceive second-order relations. A comparison of task error percentages is presented for different age groups.
