Age Differences in Children's Performance on Measures of Component Selection and Incidental Learning
Peer reviewedHale, Gordon A.; Taweel, Suzanne S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974
Children of ages 5 and 8 years were given one of three learning tasks: a component selection problem, in which the two components of the stimuli were redundant and could both serve as functional cues, and two incidental learning tasks, in which one stimulus component was task-relevant and the other was incidental. Results suggest a developmental…

Examines incidental learning in 8-, 11-, and 14-year-old children with the central and incidental pictorial stimuli (a) presented as separate entities, (b) depicted together in a weak or strong action relation, or (c) depicted together in a static relation. (Author/ED)

A central-incidental learning paradigm was used to measure the selective attention of 176 children at ages 9 and 12 years. (MP)

These results suggest that, for the purpose of measuring children's incidental learning, materials with integrated components such as color and shape are functionally different from stimuli with spatially independent components. (Authors)

Children of ages 5 and 8 years were given one of three learning tasks: (a) a component selection problem, in which two stimulus components were redundant and (b) two incidental learning tasks, in which one component of the stimuli was task-relevant and the other was incidental. A posttest, measuring the children's recall for information about each…

Hale, Gordon A.; Piper, Richard A. – 1973
Evidence regarding children's incidental learning has been derived largely from tasks in which the incidental stimulus features have been independent of the task-relevant information. The present study examined children's incidental learning with compound pictorial stimuli under conditions in which the relevant and incidental features were: (a)…

Hagen, John W.; Hale, Gordon A. – 1973
To study the development of selective attention in children a paradigm was developed in which certain features of the stimulus were designated as relevant for task performance while others were defined as incidental. Performance on the central task was assessed as well as later recall of information about the incidental stimuli, and these two…
