Spatial Transpositions and the Early Development of Search.
Sophian, Catherine
Developmental Psychology, v20 n1 p21-28 Jan 1984
Examines mastery of spatial-transposition problems by 20-, 30-, and 42-month-old children. Subjects performed well on irrelevant transpositions of three cups. However, on relevant transpositions the correct cup was not selected until 42 months. Results suggest that children initially acquire search patterns on an experimental basis and gradually understand their logical significance. (Author/CB)
