Buss, Judith Liane; Rabinowtiz, F. Michael – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
Findings were: it did not matter whether the seriation involved the hues used in subsequent tasks or other hues; the presence or absence of reinforcement during perceptual pretraining did not affect pretraining, training, or transposition behavior; and seriation pretraining produced increased transposition in the intermediate-hue problem.…

Smith, Edward L.; Padilla, Michael J. – 1975
The objectives of this study centered on ability of first-grade students in seriate learning, the strategies used, the effects of the seriation variable on task performance, and the effects of the number of objects used. Students from four randomly selected schools were asked to order a set of 4, 6, 8, or 10 objects on length or weight. The…

Fazio, Barbara B. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1996
Mathematical performance by 14 first- and second-grade children with specific language impairments (SLI) indicated difficulty with mathematical tasks that required immediate response. Findings suggest that storage and/or retrieval of rote sequential material is difficult for children with SLI. (Author/PB)

Stewart, Charlene Kimbro – 1976
The slide presentation depicts movement activities through which children can perceive and form concepts, thus building cognitive skills in certain areas. The presentation is based on the fact that children interact with their environments through all their senses and benefit from perceiving through their kinesthetic senses. The areas presented…
