From Beyond to Within Their Grasp: The Rudiments of Analogical Problem Solving in 10- and 13-Month-Olds.
Chen, Zhe; Sanchez, Rebecca Polley; Campbell, Tammy
Developmental Psychology, v33 n5 p790-801 Sep 1997
Four experiments assessed infants' ability to solve isomorphic problems and explored the nature of early representations. Found that 13-month-olds transferred a modeled strategy across isomorphic problems, whereas 10-month-olds transferred only after multiple source problems or high perceptual similarity between problems. Comprehension of the relationships between solution actions and outcome, and between tools and target object, appeared critical to transfer. (Author)
