Perceptual Salience and Children's Multidimensional Problem Solving

Odom, Richard D.; Corbin, David W.

Child Development, 44, 3, 425-432, Sep 73

Uni- and multidimensional processing of 6- to 9-year olds was studied using recall tasks in which an array of stimuli was reconstructed to match a model array. Results indicated that both age groups were able to solve multidimensional problems, but that solution rate was retarded by the unidimensional processing of highly salient dimensions. (Author/ST)
