Cheung, Chi-Ngai; Wong, Wan-Chi – Child Development, 2011
This study examined conceptual changes in children in the dimension of explicitness through the lens of the representational redescription model (A. Karmiloff-Smith, 1986, 1992). The 4- to 9-year-old participants (N = 24) had to balance blocks on a narrow support in one task and predict whether the blocks could be balanced in another task. In…

Younger, Barbara A.; Johnson, Kathy E. – Child Development, 2006
Previous research suggests that model competence does not emerge until relatively late in infancy (20-26 months). Development was systematically analyzed within 3 key areas--count noun learning, dual representation, and categorization--hypothesized to support the emergence of model competence in the second year. In an object-handling preferential…

Rosenthal, Ted L.; Zimmerman, Barry J. – Child Development, 1973
Degree of organization in presenting stimuli, and training through modeling versus guided practice, were studied on a dial-reading concept using 144 third or fifth graders. (ST)

Modeling Effects upon Conceptual Style and Cognitive Tempo
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Denney, Douglas R. – Child Development, 1972
Performance demonstrated that the conceptual style and cognitive tempo of the model changed the styles and tempos of the Ss and that these effects generalized to independent tasks. (Author)

Modeling and Eliciting Effects upon Conceptual Strategies

Zimmerman, Barry J.; Rosenthal, Ted L. – Child Development, 1972
Attaining and generalizing a new concept were studied in Mexican- and Anglo-American fifth graders. Both modeling and repetition improved performance. (Authors/MB)
