The Effect of Pretraining and Feedback on the Reasoning of Young Children.
Spiker, Charles C.; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v39 n2 p381-95 Apr 1985
Reports three experiments with kindergartners and first graders which used one-trial multidimensional reasoning tasks like those of Toppino (Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v30, p496-512, 1980). Feedback information and preliminary experience with simple forms of the task produced high performance levels, and verbal labeling in the training was not essential. (Author/CB)
