Results indicate that children's preferences were relatively stable over time. (Authors/MB)

Results showed that reversal shift was easier than extradimensional shift and that relative shift difficulty was unaffected by instructions, in contrast to findings with college-age subjects. (Authors)

Peer reviewedSmiley, Sandra S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
Major finding of this study is that relative cue similarity can be used as a definition of dimensional dominance and that it predicts both initial learning and shift behavior for normal first- and third-grade children. (Author)

In order to examine the nature of dimensional processing in children, 20 kindergarten and 20 third grade Chinese-American children were asked to make similarity judgments for unidimensional sets of stimuli differing in color (hue), size, and shape, respectively. Age differences were generally confined to the color set. The judgments of the older…
