Yussen, Steven R. – Developmental Psychology, 1974
Preschoolers and second graders observed a model choose his "favorites" in a series of common object trios and were then asked to recall the model's choices. Results indicated that children's level of attention influences their level of learning in an observational setting. (ST)

Three experiments were conducted with elementary school students which investigated whether modelling of unreinforced behavior influenced children to perform that behavior. Results indicated that the unreinforced behavior of the model serves both as a source of information and as a cue for unreinforced imitation. (DP)

Four-and seven-year-old children observed an adult, filmed model perform novel behaviors following social interaction with that adult. Other children viewed the film without social interaction. Children were then asked to demonstrate behavior. Seven-year-olds did better than four-year-olds, and a positive social interaction facilitated modeling.…

LaVoie, Joseph C.; And Others – 1976
Children's self-control behavior in motor and cognitive tasks was examined in a series of two studies in which modeling and self-regulatory mechanisms were varied to assess the influence of each. In the first study, 6-, 7-, 9-, and 11-year-old children individually played a 20-trial game of 'Simon Says' (involving activation and inhibition trials)…
