A Microgenetic/Cross-Sectional Study of Matrix Completion: Comparing Short-Term and Long-Term Change.
Siegler, Robert S.; Svetina, Matija
Child Development, v73 n3 p793-809 May-Jun 2002
This study examined 6- to 8-year-old Slovenian children's acquisition of matrix completion proficiency and compared microgenetic and age-related changes on the task. Microgenetic analyses indicated that: variability of children's errors increased before they discovered the correct strategy, the correct strategy became dominant shortly after initial use, improvements in matrix completion performance generalized to conservation, and that amount of learning correlated positively with IQ.
