Peer reviewedBrown, Ann L.; Campione, Joseph C. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
Response to PS 502 660. (CB)

Peer reviewedOzioko, Julius O. C. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1983
A total of 72 Nigerian (Igbo) children learned reversal or extradimensional shifts under one of two conditions of locality (urban or rural) and one of three conditions of age (4, 7, or 10 years). Results showed significant main effects for shift, age, and locality and were interpreted as being consistent with the Kendlers' (1962) mediational…

Peer reviewedCole, Michael; Medin, Douglas – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
It is urged that investigators lay aside demonstrations of the existence of mediation in young children as focus of research, substituting a search for the conditions of its occurrence. (Authors)

Kendler, Howard H.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Results offer strong support to the notion that ontogenetic changes occur in the tendency for humans to prefer an Intradimensional over an Extradimensional choice in an optional discrimination shift paradigm. (Authors)

Peer reviewedGroenendaal, H. A.; Bakker, D. J. – Human Development, 1971
Thirty 7-year-old and 26 10-year-old boys were presented with temporal sequences of meaningful and meaningless figures to determine the differences in perception and retention of above- and below-average readers. (Author/AJ)

This study examines the effects of initial response training and criterion training on the discrimination shift performance of preschool children; results are discussed in terms of differing theoretical orientation. After an initial task involving either criterion training or response training, 109 subjects were presented with either…

Peer reviewedKendler, Tracy S. – Human Development, 1979
This review argues that an hypothesis about longitudinal development may be derived from, and tested exclusively by, cross-sectional data, when the potential sources of interpretive errors are dealt with adequately. The argument is illustrated by cross-sectional data relevant to developmental mediation theory. (Author/SS)

PDF pending restorationBloom, Richard D. – 1971
This study examined the relationship between convergent and divergent thinking and performance errors in reversal and nonreversal concept tasks. The results show: (1) a positive relationship between convergent performance and concept errors; and (2) an inverse relationship between divergent performance and concept errors. These correlational…

Uehling, Barbara S.; Underwood, Benton J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Findings are most consistent with a mediation interpretation of transfer. (Authors)

Peer reviewedFarnham-Diggory, S.; Gregg, Lee W. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1975
Investigated memory span and memory scanning in both auditory and visual modalities of 24 good and poor, 10-year-old readers. The major finding was that short-term memory function deteriorated over time in the poor reading group. (Author/LLK)

Dickerson, Donald J.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Results suggest that kindergarten children extinguish mediating responses faster than instrumental choice responses while the reverse probably holds with second graders. (Authors)
