Manrique, Héctor M.; Hernández-Gálvez, Yurena; Hernández-Cabrera, Juan; Álvarez, Carlos J. – Journal for the Study of Education and Development, 2022
Fifty-one 23-to-55-month-old-infants faced two apparatuses that required the use of a rigid (box apparatus) or flexible (hose apparatus) stick-like tool to retrieve a toy stuck inside. Before attempting the extraction, however, they had to pick the only one tool (of three) on display that had the appropriate rigidity/flexibility to be effective.…

In the present…

Adalbjornsson, Carola F.; Fischman, Mark G.; Rudisill, Mary E. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2008
The end-state comfort effect has been observed in recent studies of grip selection in adults. The present study investigated whether young children also exhibit sensitivity to end-state comfort. The task was to pick up an overturned cup from a table, turn the cup right side up, and pour water into it. Two age groups (N = 20 per group) were…

Carroll, Daniel J.; Apperly, Ian A.; Riggs, Kevin J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2007
In the present experiment, we used a reversed-contingency paradigm (the windows task: [Russell, J., Mauthner, N., Sharpe, S., & Tidswell, T. (1991). The windows task as a measure of strategic deception in preschoolers and autistic subjects. "British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 9," 331-349]) to explore the effect of alterations in the task…

Blewitt, Pamela; Durkin, Marcie – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Depending on age and the demands of the task, people may use different processing strategies in object categorization. Three-year-olds used a wholistic approach with strong effects of object typicality on three categorization tasks. Older children and adults showed differential effects of typicality, suggesting various strategies including…
