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 reviewedMontanelli, Dale Soderman – Developmental Psychology, 1972
The specific hypothesis tested by this research is that children are able to attend to multiple cues simultaneously and are able to use the information contained in these cues. (Author)

Download full textHale, Gordon A.; Lipps, Leann E. T. – 1973
As children grow older they show an increasing preference for classifying objects on the basis of shape rather than color. To clarify the nature of this "dimension preference," children of ages 3 1/2 to 6 1/2 years were given a method of triads test of dimension preferences, followed (after a week's delay) by a component selection task. The most…

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 reviewedVickers, Marilyn; Blanchard, Edward B. – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1973
A task was used in which subjects at three different Piagetian stages of intellectual development were to induce the missing relationship in different triadic situations. (Authors)

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)

Lipps, Leann E. T. – 1973
To investigate two measures which have been used to assess children's attention to stimulus dimensions, component selection, and dimension preference, both measures were administered to 38 3 1/2 to 5-year-olds and 20 5- to 6 1/2-year-olds. Seven to ten days after the dimension preference task was given. the component selection measure was…
