Development of Relational Reasoning and Avoidance of Premature Closure.
Acredolo, Curt; Horobin, Karen
Developmental Psychology, v23 n1 p13-21 Jan 1877
First-, third-, fifth-, and sixth-grade children were administered 20 relational reasoning problems in which they had to deduce the possible sizes of one item relative to two others on the basis of a visual comparison and a written clue. Dramatic differences were observed between fifth- and sixth-grade children. Corrective feedback improved performances of first- through fifth-graders. (Author/RH)
