Developmental Patterns in the Understanding of Social and Physical Transitivity.
Markovits, Henry; Dumas, Claude
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v73 n2 p95-114 Jun 1999

Findings revealed no significant correlations between social judgments and judgments concerning length. Results suggested that children possess two distinct strategies for making transitive judgments that correspond to the logical structure of the underlying relations. (Author/KB)
