THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUNG CHILDREN ON THREE DISCRIMINATION-LEARNING TASKS.
- Authors
Hill, Suzanne D.
- Abstract
Children at 1, 4, 6, and 12 years of age were tested on the object-discrimination, oddity, and conditional-oddity problems. The object-discrimination problem can be handled by 1-year-olds, the oddity problem by 6-year-olds, and the conditional-oddity problem by Ss between 6 and 12 years of age. The major response tendency found from an analysis of Ss' choices over trials was a position preference on the part of 1-year-old Ss on the object-discrimination problem With more complex problems and older age groups, Ss appeared to vary in the type of responses they made both among themselves and over trials.
