Cognitive Requirements of Ulterior Motive Information Usage: Individual Child Analyses.
Dozier, Mary; Butzin, Clifford
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v46 n1 p88-99 Aug 1988
Used single-subject analyses to examine the developmental difficulty of the ulterior motive question (the backward inverse inference) in five- and seven-year-olds. Results suggest that children's difficulties with ulterior motive information result both from the abstract nature and the logical form of the task. (Author/SKC)
