Experiment examined the generality of dimensional and cue-location biases in inference and role of directness of information. (Author)

Study attempted to specify two complementary aspects of children's inferential size judgments within the context of Piaget's theory. (Authors)

The logical extension of results may be valuable in adding to our understanding of the variety of phenomena involving mediational processes, such as transposition, reversal and nonreversal shifts, imagery, concept formation, word meaning, and the effectiveness of verbal stimuli in discrimination and generalization.

Results indicate that the semantic constraints revealed by adult associative sentences used here are a functional part of the linguistic knowledge a 5-year-old child brings to the task of memorizing sentences. (Authors)

Authors suggest that consideration be given to maximizing the opportunies for systems in either cerebral hemisphere to develop fully in early life, when the child is essentially split-brained," so that developmental imbalance does not exist when the two hemispheres later begin to communicate.

Thirty Negro and white preschool children were tested for differential preference for Negro and white characteristics on four facial features. (Authors/MB)

It was concluded that the scaled preference values have high face validity and that they suggest the need for reexamination of some previous experimental results. (Author)

Results are discussed in terms of the development and activation of cognitive structures. (Authors)

By nonintellective" are meant factors which are present in a test situation and which influence the test scores obtained but are not obviously related to the skills or knowledge ostensibly being measured by the test. (Authors)

Investigation indicates that perceptual inadequacy must be controlled in studies that utilize ambiguous, novel or nonsense designs in stimulus materials. (Authors)

Major finding is that recall in the shift condition dramatically exceeded recall in the no shift condition. (Authors/MB)

Attitudes toward the colors black and white may influence the way black and white children view each other and themselves. (Authors)

Results indicate that the parents of non-delinquents can be clearly differentiated from parents of delinquents in terms of displaying a higher activity level, less rejection, higher parental adjustment, lower consistency of controls, but higher consistency of feelings. (Author)
