What Makes a Vibble a Vibble? A Developmental Study of Category Generalization.
Ward, Thomas B.; And Others
Child Development, v60 n1 p214-24 Feb 1989
Studied the way in which 32 preschoolers aged three-five years, 28 second-graders and 64 undergraduates generalized from a labeled exemplar to other potential members of the same category. Results indicated that preschoolers focused mostly on single attributes in making category decisions and older individuals primarily exhibited multiple attribute rules. (RJC)
