Two Levels of Inferential Behavior in Young Children.
Somerville, Susan C.; And Others
Child Development, v50 n1 p119-31 Mar 1979
Investigates inferential behavior in five- and six-year-old children who made inferences about the spatial locations of models of animals and people in three experiments. Two levels of inference were found. Inferences of most five year olds were consistent with information given; Inferences of most six year olds were logically necessary ones. (Author/RH)
