Children's Responses to Task Instructions: Age Changes and Training Effects.
Vlietstra, Alice G.
Child Development, v53 n2 p534-42 Apr 1982
In the first study, observation and labeling behavior were investigated in 5-, 8-, 11-year-olds, and adults. Subjects were asked to find differences in stimuli. In the second study, an attempt was made to determine whether children can learn to adapt their attention to tasks requiring exhaustive or selective observation and to transfer such behaviors to a new task.
