Age-Related Asynchrony of Knowledge and Action.
Zelazo, Philip David; Reznick, J. Stephen
Child Development, v62 n4 p719-35 Aug 1991
The ability of 31- to 36-month-old children to act in accordance with rules was assessed in 2 slightly different experiments using sorting tasks and knowledge tasks. Taken together, the results of both experiments imply a relatively rapid, age-related change culminating in the ability to systematically execute rules that require access to extant knowledge. (GLR)
