Young Children's Analogical Reasoning: The Role of Immediate Feedback
Chiu, Shuhui; Alexander, Patricia A.
Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, v32 n5 p417-428 Aug 2014
In this study, a computerized measure, Interactive Analogical Measure (IAM), was developed and used to assess young children's ability to reason analogically. The IAM was equipped to provide corrective feedback and the effects of that feedback were tested for experimental and control groups. A group of 5-year-olds (N = 80) participated in the study. Children were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group and the IAM was similarly implemented with the exception of the feedback indicators. There were significant differences between the experimental and control groups for overall performance. Data suggested that the effect of immediate, corrective feedback emerged very early during the test and manifested a cumulative effect across the entire test. It seems that an interactive measure provides meaningful problem-solving experience for young children.
