Rich Interpretation vs. Deflationary Accounts in Cognitive Development: The Case of Means-End Skills in 7-Month-Old Infants.
Munakata, Yuko; Bauer, David; Stackhouse, Tracy; Landgraf, Laura; Huddleston, Jennifer
Cognition, v83 n3 pB43-B53 Apr 2002
Tested whether 7-month-olds' means-end behaviors were genuine or the repetition of trained behaviors under conditions of greater arousal. Found that infants' learned button-pushing to light a set of distant lights differed from button-pushing to retrieve toys. Infants demonstrated means-end skills with behaviors that they had not been trained to repeat. (Author/KB)
