Teaching Through Demonstration: The Effects of Structuring, Imitation, and Age

Zimmerman, Barry J.; Jaffe, Arnold

Journal of Educational Psychology, 69, 6, 773-8, Dec 77

Six-and eight-year olds were exposed to a modeling sequence for cluster rule learning under high, medium, and low degrees of structure. Age differences in vicarious learning emerged only in the medium structure condition, while immediately imitating a model failed to influence learning for either age group. (Author/CP)
