These experiments explored the role of prior experience in 12- to 18-month-old infants' tool-directed actions. In Experiment 1, infants' use of a familiar tool (spoon) to accomplish a novel task (turning on lights inside a box) was examined. Infants tended to grasp the spoon by its handle even when doing so made solving the task impossible (the…

Studies the extent to which psychometric and Piagetian scales correlate during infancy and also explores the nomological networks of these scales and the degree to which their networks are similar. (LLK)

Peer reviewedBerger, Sarah E.; Adolph, Karen E. – Developmental Psychology, 2003
Two experiments examined problem solving in 16-month-olds' adaptive locomotion (crossing bridges of varying width with/without handrail). Findings indicated that toddlers attempted wide bridges more than narrow ones. Attempts on narrow bridges depended on handrail presence. Toddlers had longer latencies, examined bridge/handrail more closely, and…
