Age Changes in Nonverbal Decoding as a Function of Increasing Amounts of Information.
DePaulo, Bella M.; Rosenthal, Robert
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v26 n2 p280-87 Oct 1978
Three different analyses have shown that the more information available in a nonverbal decoding task, the less efficiently younger subjects utilize the information relative to older ones. This differential effectiveness in the utilization of available information was discussed in terms of processing capacity, effort, and strategies for sampling a diversity of cues. (Author/MP)
