Conditional Reasoning following Contradictory Evidence: A Developmental Analysis.
O'Brien, David; Overton, Willis F.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v30 n1 p44-61 Aug 1980
Third- and seventh-grade and college students were tested to assess developmental differences in improvement following contradiction training and to investigate whether improved performance transfers to other conditional reasoning tasks. Results showed age differences: college students improved and transferred performance, seventh graders demonstrated confusion, and third graders were not affected by training. (Author/DB)
