Pruitt, Dean G.; Cosentino, Charles – Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 1975
The first study in this article attempted to provide an empirical assessment of the validity of the other-self and self-ideal indices as measures of value strength, while the second study evaluated the assumptions that item-specific values underlie the choice shift, with an across-people (group-composition) design.

Kendler, Tracy S.; Ward, James W. – Developmental Psychology, 1972
The orderly increase in the proportion of subjects who make optional reversal shifts over an age scale that now encompasses a range from 3 to 18 is confirmed. (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)

Switzky, Harvey N. – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the distinctiveness of stimulus cues on the relevant and irrelevant dimensions - both in original learning and in transfer - on the learning of intradimensional shifts by retarded subjects. (Author)

Vinokur, Amiram; And Others – Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 1975
A subjective expected utility (SEU) decision-making analysis was performed on the content of arguments generated by subjects privately or during group discussion in response to choice-dilemmas shown to shift toward risk and caution. (Editor)

Runquist, Peggy A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Results indicate that responses are not organized per se, but that response grouping is mediated by stimulus categories. (Author)

Kendler, Howard H.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
Three experiments are reported that were designed to test the effectiveness of two training procedures, one perceptual, the other verbal, on upgrading the conceptual behavior of preschool children. (Authors/MB)

Gollin, Eugene S.; Schadler, Margaret – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
Experiment was designed to teach the oddity principle to preschool age children whose age peers in earlier studies have had difficulty learning the oddity principle. (Authors)

Libby, William L., Jr.; Kroes, William H. – Child Development, 1971
Major finding is that recall in the shift condition dramatically exceeded recall in the no shift condition. (Authors/MB)

Smiley, Sandra S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
Major finding of this study is that relative cue similarity can be used as a definition of dimensional dominance and that it predicts both initial learning and shift behavior for normal first- and third-grade children. (Author)
