Selective Information Use and Perseveration in the Search Behavior of Infants and Young Children.
Sophian, Catherine; Wellman, Henry M.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v35 n3 p369-90 Jun 1983
Experiment one tested 9- and 16-month-old children on a modification of Piaget's Stage IV object permanence task, examining infants' use of information from previous experiences with an object and from a recent hiding to locate a hidden object. In experiment two, two-, two-and-a-half-, and four-year-old children additionally received verbal information and information about typical locations of objects. (Author/RH)
