The Development of Hierarchical Classification Skills in Science.
Lowell, Walter E.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v17 n5 p425-33 Sep 1980
Explored the development of hierarchical classification and the age at which this ability appears fully developed. Two measures of hierarchical classification ability were administered to primary, elementary, junior high and high school students. Discusses results which support Piaget's contention that this ability is not developed until late concrete operations. (CS)
