Examined 5- to 12-year-olds' judgment regarding the behavior of balance scales and other levers whose arms varied in a causal or a noncausal variable. Results indicated age-related increases in correct judgments about the influence of physical features of objects at an earlier age than about spatial relations between objects. (MOK)

It is intended to investigate the development of psychological differentiation in children as young as age three. The PEFT contains 27 black and white drawings (3 practice drawings and 24…
