Droit-Volet, Sylvie; Wearden, John; Delgado-Yonger, Maria – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2007
This experiment investigated the effect of the short-term retention of duration on temporal discrimination in 5- and 8-year-olds, as well as in adults, by using an episodic temporal generalization task. In each age group, the participants' task was to compare two successive durations (a standard and a comparison duration) separated by a retention…

Temporal Generalization in 3- to 8-Year-Old Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Droit-Volet, Sylvie; Clement, Angelique; Wearden, John – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2001
Tested 3-, 5-, and 8-year-olds on temporal generalization with visual stimuli. Found increasing sharpness of generalization gradient with increasing age, and change from symmetrical to adult-like asymmetrical generalization gradients among 8-year-olds. Theoretical models attributed changes to increasing precision of the reference memory with…
