Peer reviewedOffenbach, Stuart I.; And Others – Child Development, 1972
Results indicate that children's preferences were relatively stable over time. (Authors/MB)

Peer reviewedEldred, Carolyn A. – Child Development, 1973
Results reveal a relationship between two previously explored areas of inquiry: orientation errors in copying and preferences for the orientation of nonrealistic shapes. (Author)

Peer reviewedTatarsky, Julian H. – Child Development, 1974
Presents an investigation of the hypothesis that an increase in the salience of the total class dimension should improve class-inclusion performance. Subjects were 220 children in kindergarten through third grades. (SDH)

Peer reviewedDenney, Nancy Wadsworth – Child Development, 1972
The most significant finding is that classification according to complete similarity not only occurs much earlier than reported by Inhelder and Piaget, but also does not follow the developmental course reported by Inhelder and Piaget. (Author)

Peer reviewedMiller, Patricia H. – Child Development, 1973
Results show that both kindergarten nonconservers and kindergarten conservers found height most salient. Third-grade conservers found quantity most salient but could easily attend to height and width. (Author/CB)

Peer reviewedOdom, Richard D.; Corbin, David W. – Child Development, 1973
Uni- and multidimensional processing of 6- to 9-year olds was studied using recall tasks in which an array of stimuli was reconstructed to match a model array. Results indicated that both age groups were able to solve multidimensional problems, but that solution rate was retarded by the unidimensional processing of highly salient dimensions.…

Peer reviewedBrier, Norman; Jacobs, Paul I. – Child Development, 1972
A single administration of the reversal learning paradigm is not a sufficient basis for determining either a given subject's choice of option or his behavior on its constituent learning measures. This conclusion raises many questions about past research relating to mediation theory, since this paradigm has been the basic one employed. (Authors)
