Peer reviewedDusek, Jerome B.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1975
Attention to task-relevant and task-irrelevant information was compared in high- and low-test-anxious children. Results indicated that high-test anxious persons divide their attention in evaluative situations. It is suggested that providing them with task-relevant strategies helps them to cope with the negative effects of test anxiety. (JMB)

Peer reviewedUrberg, Kathryn A.; Docherty, Edward M. – Developmental Psychology, 1976
Five role-taking tasks were arranged in a task hierarchy on the basis of their content and structural aspects. These tasks were then presented to 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds and the data analyzed by scalogram and cluster analysis. The results supported the hypothesis and revealed a fundamental structural difference among tasks. (JMB)
