The Role of Stimulus Salience in Young Children's Ability to Discriminate Two-Dimensional Rotations: Reflections on a Paradigm.

Rosser, Rosemary A.; And Others

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v10 n2 p95-103 Apr 1985

Forty preschoolers were directed to mentally rotate a stimulus and to discriminate the rotated stimulus from among a set of alternatives. Results are discussed in light of discrepant findings about children's kinetic imagery ability and the advisability of using this particular paradigm with young children. (Author/BS)
