Continuity and Transformation in the Psychological Meaning of Categorization Breadth.

Block, Jack; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v22 n6 p832-40 Nov 1986

The category breadth indexes of 128 children at each age (4 and 11) were related to personality data available at ages 3, 4, 7, 11, and 14 in form of independent California Child Q-Sort (CCQ) description. Results suggested that breadth of categorization at age four correlated negatively with intelligence, while at age 11 it correlated positively with intelligence. (Author/DR)
