Stability of Preschool Children's Exploratory Behavior in the Same Situation.

Russell, A.

Journal of Psychology, v101 p169-71 Mar 1979

No significant correlations were found when the intersession interval was three to four days, but significant correlations were noted when the interval was 12 to 14 days, apparently due to perceived novelty of the second situation.
