Children's Ability to Detect Semantic Contradictions
Glass, Arnold L.; And Others
Child Development, 48, 1, 279-283, Mar 77
Children in grades 1, 3, and 5 were asked to decide whether selected contradictory sentences were true or false. The age at which children were first able to evaluate the false sentences correctly corresponded to the relative speed with which adults evaluated the sentences in a timed vertification task.
