Functional Measurement Assessment of Young Children's Ability to Predict Future Behavior.
Dozier, Mary
Child Development, v62 n5 p1091-99 Oct 1991
In one experiment, kindergartners and second and fourth graders made quantitative predictions about how many items children would share based on information about the children's previous behavior. In a second experiment, kindergartners' quantitative predictions were more consistent with the behavioral information than were their dichotomous predictions of whether helping behavior would occur.
