McIlvane, William J.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1988
Examined matching-to-sample procedures that might result in emergence in preschool children of conditional behavior that was never explicitly taught. Children were asked to match a novel and a familiar picture to a spoken word which was English or nonsense. (SKC)

Kalil, Kathleen; And Others – Child Development, 1974
Piaget's class-inclusion task was revised class-inclusion tasks were administered to 64 kindergarten and 64 first-graders. Each of the revisions enhanced performance as compared with Piaget's standard procedures. These results are considered in terms of two possible interpretations. (Author/SDH)

Fabricius, William V. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1998
Asserts that this book, drawn from a 1993 conference on memory development, accurately reflects the contemporary status of the field in two ways: (1) its research is matured and specialized; and (2) there are no major theoretical disputes, nor a widely shared new approach, although using microgenetic designs to study cognitive strategy choice…

Reese, Hayne W. – Developmental Review, 1999
Discusses motivations for research replications and makes recommendations for appropriate research strategies. Illustrates research strategies in a review of studies replicating a 1948 study by Soviet psychologist Z.M. Istomina on preschoolers' memory. Concludes that none of the studies closely replicated Istomina's methods, but some replicated…

Vivell, Susan; And Others
Six studies are summarized in which repeatable methods were tested in quasi-experimental settings to test hypotheses relating to a cognitive approach to counseling. In each study, a repeatable mode of counseling was developed, research counselors were trained to a high level of competence, their performance was validated by tape recordings,…

Rogers, Karen B. – 1988
The purpose of this study was to determine the types of research methods used to study cognitive processing development in gifted learners, from 1975-1986. Of 870 research publications identified on giftedness, 522 publications (60 percent) dealt with cognitive processing development. Research designs used most frequently were causal-comparative,…

Kasworm, Carol E. – 1983
Because self-directed learning behaviors are inherently interwoven within a foundation of lifespan cognitive and contextual characteristics, researchers must examine the theory and application of self-directed learning not just as an externally-defined or self-perceived process but also as an internal process of continual development grounded in a…

Kennedy, Kerry J. – Theory and Research in Social Education, 1983
Past research which used Piaget's model of cognitive development has suggested that historical understanding is a developmental construct. The present study, designed to test the theoretical adequacy of previous studies, shows that a new variable, information processing, could predict the level of historical understanding. (Author/CS)

Davis, Jessica – Studies in Art Education, 1997
Critiques the attempt by David Pariser and Axel van den Berg to apply the author's methods to a cross-cultural study. Argues that their study is too flawed to be definitive. Suggests means to test the universality of the U-curve as a cognitive development pattern or an artifact of culturally defined aesthetics. (DSK)

Pariser, David; Van den Berg, Axel – Studies in Art Education, 1997
Responds to a critique of the authors' work by Jessica Davis. Enumerates and responds to each of Davis' critiques, arguing that many of them are invalid. Defends the research design choices made by the authors and the results of their study. (DSK)

Shumway, Richard J., Ed. – 1980
This volume represents an effort to develop a definitive reference work on research in mathematics education. The reference is divided into two parts. Part 1, on the research process, focuses on problems of research methods and their relevance to research in mathematics education. Part 1 also introduces the beginner to some of the issues and…

Caplan, Paula J.; Crawford, Mary; Hyde, Janet Shibley; Richardson, John T. E. – 1997
Noting the fascination of both researchers and the general public with possible gender differences in human cognition and whether these differences originate in biology, childhood influences, or cultural stereotypes, this book summarizes research studies on gender differences in cognition. The book examines social and cultural implications of this…

Boehnke, Klaus; Merkens, Hans – Zeitschrift fur Padagogik, 1995
Considers the problems inherent in researching changes in social values and individual perspectives among selected age groups. Asserts that studies aimed at researching both aspects need to be organized as longitudinal studies. Utilizes data taken from a study of East and West Berlin adolescents to reveal specific research problems. (MJP)

Irvine, David J.; And Others – 1978
The New York State Experimental Prekindergarten Program (PreK) evaluation studied successive waves of children while they were in PreK, and as they progressed through the third grade. For each wave, two control groups were obtained: (1) A waiting-list control group, children in districts offering PreK programs who were identified as eligible for…
