Selection of Causal Rules.
Shultz, Thomas R.; And Others
Child Development, v57 n1 p143-52 Feb 1986
The purpose of present experiments with subjects approximately three, five, and seven years of age was to provide additional evidence for the obviousness of the generative transmission principle and to provide initial evidence for the secondary principles of absence and facility. Empirical support was found for each of these selection principles, as well as for the principle of discriminability. (RH)
