Schultz, Roger F.; Dodd, David H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Experiments reported here confirm the finding that performance can actually improve as intradimensional variability increases. (Authors/MB)
Descriptors: Concept Formation, Data Analysis, Discrimination Learning, Performance Factors
Peer reviewedHarris, Lauren Jay – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1972
Study lends support to the view that the problem with left-right stems from the imperfect mastery of the basic discrimination, not from an inability to deal with the logic of relational concepts. (Author/CB)

Peer reviewedKnight, Carol A.; Scholnick, Ellin Kofsky – Child Development, 1973
Groups trained to compare the whole and subset improved in cue identification from negative instances; performance in the stimulus exposure group declined. (Authors)

Peer reviewedBourne, Lyle E.; And Others – American Journal of Psychology, 1976
Investigates the prediction that the usual superiority of pictures over words for repetitions of the same items would disappear for items that were different instances of repeated categories. (Author/RK)

Peer reviewedSwartz, Karyl; Hall, Alfred E. – Child Development, 1972
Comparison between relational concepts and word definitions coincided with lower levels of thinking, and abstract definitions with the highest level. (Author)

Peer reviewedTighe, Thomas J.; Tighe, Louise S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
Presolution reversal prevented or significantly retarded learning in kindergarten and first-grade children but did not hinder learning in fifth-grade children. (Authors)

Peer reviewedHerrnstein, R. J.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 1976
Pigeons learned discrimination rapidly and responded differentially to pictures seen for the first time. The essential feature of a natural discrimination--which is the ability to cope with natural ranges of variation--was approached and earlier experimental results were extended using other classes of stimuli. (Author/RK)

The research reported here was designed to measure the abilities of school-age children to form and generalize "visual concepts" on the basis of their observation of prepared sets of art reproductions. The art reproduction sets displayed similarities based upon various visual attributes. Discrimination of the attributes common to any…

Klausmeier, Herbert J.; And Others – 1976
Piaget's model of children's conceptual learning and development was compared with Klausmeier's Conceptual Learning and Development (CLD) model in a longitudinal study. The CLD model suggests four successive levels of concept learning: (1) concrete--recognizing an object which has been encountered previously; (2) identity--recognizing a known…
