Development of the Middle Concept.

Rabinowitz, F. Michael; Howe, Mark L.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v57 n3 p418-48 Jun 1994

Children's use of the middle concept was assessed in two developmental studies. Experiment 1, with kindergarten through fifth-grade students, showed marked improvement in the mastery of the middle concept across elementary grades. In Experiment 2, discrimination pretraining with two nonoverlapping stimulus sets transferred to the novel test dimensions. (TJQ)
