Children's Deliberateness of Planning According to Task Circumstances.
Gardner, William; Rogoff, Barbara
Developmental Psychology, v26 n3 p480-87 May 1990
Eighty-nine children between four and nine years of age solved mazes varying in the presumed appropriateness of advance or improvisational planning. Results of the study show that children's planning strategies are adapted to circumstances and suggest that older children may be more proficient in this adaptation than are younger children. (RH)
