Training and Transfer in Combinatorial Problem Solving: The Development of Formal Reasoning During Early Adolescence
Barratt, Barnaby B.
Developmental Psychology, 11, 6, 700-704, Nov 75
This study investigated the emergence of combinatorial competence in early adolescence and the effectiveness of a programmed discovery training procedure. Significant increases in combinatorial skill with age were shown; it was found that the expression of this skill was significantly facilitated if problems involved concrete material of low complexity.
