Abstract: In the present study,Thompson's triad classification task and Navon's hierarchical pattern stimuli were used to explore dimensional salience effects on of the children aged 4～6 years discriminability of figures.In experiment 1 on free matching.The result showed:.(1)color was more salient than shape,and local feature was more salient than the global.(2)the rate of accurate to discriminate based on color and global features increased as age increased;(3)it is faster to discriminate the task on local-global hierarchical pattern than to do the task on dimensional salience hierarchical model.In experiment 2 on matching by different instructions,The result showed that dimensional salience can significantly speed children's perceptual response and improve their accurate.It is suggested that the effect of dimensional salience probably automatically occurred at the early stage of cognitive process.

Key words: discriminate, dimensional salience of objects, hierarchical pattern, young children
