A Developmental Study of the Processes Underlying Solution of Figural Matrices.
Stone, Beth; Day, Mary Carol
Child Development, v52 n1 p359-62 Mar 1981
Geometric matrix problems were presented to 11- and 14-year-olds and adults to investigate latency to solution as a function of number of elements (1-3) and of transformations (0-2) that had to be considered for correct solution. At all ages latencies increased as the number of elements and number of transformations increased. (Author/DB)
