Peer reviewedJacobs, Paul I.; Vandeventer, Mary – Child Development, 1971
Brief training sessions can improve first-graders' performance on double-classification problems. Questions are raised about whether or not the basic intellectual ability underlying performance has also been increased. (WY)

Peer reviewedLoveland, Katherine A. – Child Development, 1987
When children with Down's syndrome and normally developing children of comparable mental age were compared in their ability to find things they saw in a mirror, it was found that the ability of children with Down's syndrome paralleled that of normally developing children, but that motivational, attentional, and exploratory differences may exist.…

Peer reviewedGoldman, Susan R.; And Others – Child Development, 1982
Two studies were conducted with 8- and 10-year-old children to examine sources of age and skill differences in verbal analogical reasoning. Discussion focuses on the child's "problem space" for the analogy task and possible differences in task understanding that lead to strategy and process differences in older versus younger and skilled versus…

Peer reviewedIves, William – Child Development, 1980
Sixty-four 3- and 4-year-olds were asked to identify another's view of a spatial array either verbally or by picture selection. Results indicate that verbalization leads to substantially more correct responses. Girls' performance was significantly better than boys' performance across both response modes. (Author/DB)

Peer reviewedZelniker, Tamar; Oppenheimer, Louis – Child Development, 1973
Examines the effect of different training methods on perceptual learning of impulsive children. A matching to sample method (M), and a differentiation method (D) were used. Data indicated that Ss receiving D training learned to process features distinguishing stimuli; whereas, Ss receiving M training showed no preference for a particular mode of…

Peer reviewedFisher, Celia B. – Child Development, 1982
In the first experiment, 16 kindergarten children were tested on vertical/horizontal and oblique discriminations in symmetrical and asymmetrical alignments. When stimuli were asymmetrically aligned, the former discrimination was learned as rapidly as the latter. The second experiment demonstrated that the influence of configurational cues in…
