One question prompting the present research concerned the relation between performance under tachistoscopic'' conditions where exposure durations are too brief to permit active overt visual search, and performance when overt search is possible. (Author)

Major finding of this study demonstrates clear support for the proposed developmental sequence of gestural representation. (Authors)

This research demonstrates significant but moderate association among 4 methods of measuring other-centeredness, including behavioral, cognitive, valuative, and peer-rating measures. (Authors)

The finding of major significance in this study concerns the effect of stimulant drug medication on the relationship between heart rate deceleration and reaction time with the clinic children. (Authors)

It was concluded from the date that satiation plays a determining role in the continued utilization of an acquired response while distraction is a primary determinant of acquisition rate. (Authors)

Results indicates that awareness of the facilitative effect of categorization on recall increases with age, particularly during the early grade-school years. (Author)

Study is an investigation of the effects of an attention-focusing variable--spatial separation of central and incidental cues--and a cognitive strategy factor--verbal labeling of central cues--and their interaction on the incidental learning of Ss younger than those previously tested with these manipulations. (Authors)

It may be concluded that reflective and fast-accurate Ss differ from impulsive Ss of the same grade in the strategies used to solve problems. These strategy differences may or may not lead to more efficient performance, depending on the structure of the task, but they are indicative of different levels of cognitive development. (Author)

It was concluded that in grade school children the tendency to be reflective in problem solving also entails a disposition to take longer in making decisions. (Author)

Results indicated that Piagetian developmental level significantly predicted problem-solving performance, whereas level of field independence did not appear to clarify individual differences in a meaningful way. (Author)

It is suggested that field dependents have more difficulty than field independents in giving up reliance on a formerly relevant cue. (Authors/CB)

If learning is viewed in terms of the tendency to approach a stimulus that has been rewarded and to avoid a stimulus that has not been rewarded, then it must be concluded that the subjects in this study did not learn. (Author)

A level prediction task, in the context of Piaget's conservation-of-liquid problem, was used to analyze the regularities of incompetence'' in the nonconserving or noncompensating child. (Author)

The relation of CA, MA, and IQ to conservation was examined by comparing the performance of bright, normal, and retarded children matched on the critical MA of six years. (Author)

Support for the operation of internal factors in cognitive development was provided by an obtained increase from first to second posttest scores. Two conservations were considered to be involved--conservation of the whole and of the part. (Author)
