Developmental Reversal in Classification Accuracy Due to an Increase with Age in Orientation-free Judgments
Williams, Tannis MacBeth; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 21, 1, 128-143, Feb 76

Reversal accuracy appeared to result from an increase with age in orientation-free judgments. This hypothesis was confirmed in the subsequent two experiments. (GO)
