The Short-Term Dynamics of Social Organization in Preschool Triads.
McLoyd, Vonnie C.; And Others
Child Development, v55 n3 p1051-70 Jun 1984
Examined sequential dependencies in solitary and interactive states of social organization as a function of age, sex, and type of toy in 12 triads of 3 1/2- and 5-year-old children. Each triad was observed during two 30-minute sessions, one in which objects with highly specific functions were available and one in which objects with relatively ambigious functions were present.
