Vasta, Ross; Green, Pamela J. – Child Development, 1982
When reference cues are added to a pattern copying task, males' performance improves, but females' remains the same. This superior cue utilization may partially explain differences in spatial abilities. The present research attempts to determine the optimum locus for facilitation of copying by reference cues. (RH)

Crino, Michael D.; White, Michael C. – Journal of Management, 1982
Examined the effects of feedback on intrinsic motivation to perform a task. Male college students (N=50) participated in a puzzle task. Four measures of intrinsic motivation were used. Results indicated that redundant task performance feedback may not yield positive effects on attitudinal measures of intrinsic motivation. (JAC)

Rosser, Rosemary A. – Child Development, 1983
A total of 120 children between four to eight years of age were administered four sets of visual perspective-taking tasks.
