Results indicate that identity conservation generally does not precede equivalence conservation; instead the two conservations tend to co-occur. (Authors)

It was shown that hierarchies change with development and that relative salience of a dimension is negatively associated with both reaction time of choice and number of errors on the identity task. (Authors)

Results of the study generally support the position that moral ideology is related to identity status. (Authors)

Results indicated that subjects in each source of blame group responded with significantly less amplitude and speed following interruption than noninterruption. (Authors)

Reflective subjects generated characteristically different and more efficient hypothesis-testing strategies than impulsive subjects. (Author)

These results stand in sharp contrast to those previously reported which concluded that most college students will abandon conservation; the present finding is of strong (though less than perfect) resistance. (Authors/CB)

The age effect in this study was such that younger children required proportionately more experience with reward than nonreward before they were able to improve their performance on reward problems over six sessions. (Author)

Given a chance to eat the candy or drink the juice in this study, the 5-year-olds, 7-year-olds and young adults failed to conserve and made choices based on what they said was appearance of greater quantity rather than upon the already established equivalencies. (Authors/CB)

Observed liberal-stringent model behavior significantly affected both the subject's subsequent self-reward behavior and performance. (Authors)

Four socialization environments, all of which included some modeling of altruism by an adult, were differentially effective in altering children's responsiveness to others in circumstances of distress. (Authors)

The prediction was confirmed that young children would experience more difficulty in learning to discriminate faces of another race than those of their own. Additional findings revealed that discrimination-learning performance with racial stimuli is related to a number of factors including developmental level, race of the subject, and race of the…

These data support the notion that amount of maternal involvement in task solution is determined partly by task difficulty and the child's ability to complete the tasks presented. (Author)

Results of the present study show that children by the age of 7 have internalized systematic if not complex rules concerning the conditions under which they may engage in self-gratification. (Author)

The investigators assessed the effects of two variables, overt labeling and cultural differences, on the short-term memory performance of young children. (Authors)
