Markovits, Henry; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v25 n5 p787-93 Sep 1989
Examined the ability of 85 children of 6, 8, and 11 years to reason deductively with content for which practical knowledge is irrelevant. The emergence of a clear developmental pattern showed that children's ability to differentiate responses to logical and illogical syllogisms improves over this age period. (RJC)
