Conversations with Mothers and Siblings: Young Children's Semantic and Conceptual Development.

Perez-Granados, Deanne R.; Callanan, Maureen

Developmental Psychology, v33 n1 p120-34 Jan 1997

Compared teaching and learning measures of 16 mother-child and sibling dyads playing a picture categorization game. Found that although siblings' teaching styles directed target children to make the correct choices, mothers provided information to help them make choices on their own, suggesting differences in how mothers and siblings interpreted the goals of the task.
