Temporal Generalization in 3- to 8-Year-Old Children.
Droit-Volet, Sylvie; Clement, Angelique; Wearden, John
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v80 n3 p271-88 Nov 2001
Tested 3-, 5-, and 8-year-olds on temporal generalization with visual stimuli. Found increasing sharpness of generalization gradient with increasing age, and change from symmetrical to adult-like asymmetrical generalization gradients among 8-year-olds. Theoretical models attributed changes to increasing precision of the reference memory with increasing age, and decreasing tendency to "misremember" the standard as shorter than it actually was.
