Where Do I Go Next? Intelligent Searching by Very Young Children.

DeLoache, Judy; Brown, Ann L.

Developmental Psychology, v20 n1 p37-44 Jan 1984

Investigates the organization of searching by 21- and 27-month-old children who were required to remember where a toy had been hidden. Initial search behavior on "surprise" trials was less persistent than behavior on error trials. Subsequent search behavior on "surprise" trials was selective and intelligent for older children.
