Smyth, Kirsty; Feeney, Aidan; Eidson, R. Cole; Coley, John D. – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Social essentialism, the belief that members of certain social categories share unobservable properties, licenses expectations that those categories are natural and a good basis for inference. A challenge for cognitive developmental theory is to give an account of how children come to develop essentialist beliefs about socially important…

Kareev, Yaakov – Child Development, 1982
Tests the hypothesis that semantic memory changes with age such that concepts become more strongly associated with their superordinate classes than with their exemplars. The Stroop color-naming technique was employed with 48 children 8 through 12 years of age to measure the degree of semantic activation between concepts in memory. (Author)

Florian, Victor; Kravetz, Shlomo – Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 1985
A survey of over 300 10-year-olds belonging to the four major Israeli religious groups revealed differences in the degree to which children of different religions had internalized the Western scientific concept of death. It appears that the concept of death in childhood develops as a cognitive process influenced by environmental factors. (KH)

Melkman, Rachel; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1981
A grouping task revealed a chronological progression: color and form determined the 4-year-old children's grouping about equally; form dominated in the 5-year-olds; and 9-year-olds grouped primarily by conceptual attributes. Performance on a memory task showed the developmental shift from color to form to concept, while cued recall showed…
