Judging the Intentionality of Action-Outcomes.
Shultz, Thomas R.; Wells, Diane
Developmental Psychology, v21 n1 p83-89 Jan 1985
Assessed use of certain rules for judging intentionality of action-outcomes by children of 3, 7, and 11 years. Intentionality judgments based on matching rather than objective rules were observed more frequently. It was concluded that matching rule emerges first in development and is more essential than various objective rules. (Author/DST)
