Developmental Reversal in Classification Accuracy Due to an Increase with Age in Orientation-free Judgments

Williams, Tannis MacBeth; And Others

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 21, 1, 128-143, Feb 76

A developmental reversal in accuracy was obtained for third and sixth graders and adults who judged class membership of patterns presented in a same-different task. Reversal accuracy appeared to result from an increase with age in orientation-free judgments. This hypothesis was confirmed in the subsequent two experiments. (GO)
