Factors Influencing Rule Discovery in Children.
Kaye, Daniel B.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n5 p654-68 Oct 1979
Results of two studies using the Esper paradigm to determine development of rule application and discovery are reported. Subjects learned and generalized when rule and structure were provided, but there was little evidence of rule discovery. Manipulations of memory and attention facilitated learning, but only attention facilitated rule discovery. (Author/RD)
