Children's Differential Performance on Deductive and Inductive Syllogisms.
Galotti, Kathleen M.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v33 n1 p70-78 Jan 1997
Examined when and how children distinguished deductive and inductive problems. Found that by fourth grade, confidence ratings for deductive problems were higher than those for inductive problems, and responses were faster. Explanations differed as a function of the type of problem. (MOK)
