Development of Formal Reasoning during Successive Peer Interactions.

Dimant, Rose J.; Bearison, David J.

Developmental Psychology, v27 n2 p277-84 Mar 1991

College students were assigned to either dyadic or individual problem-solving conditions and were given a series of formal operational tasks. Dyadic subjects solved more problems during the interaction phase than did individual subjects. Among dyadic subjects, interactions were associated with problem solving and pre-to-posttest gain scores. (BC)
