The Effects of Setting Similarity on Children's Learning of the Transverse Patterning Problem

Berch, Daniel B.; Israel, Michael

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 18, 2, 252-258, Oct 74

Reports research demonstrating that fourth-grade subjects could not solve a basic transverse patterning problem involving pairs of geometric forms even after 90 trials. The addition of one nonspatial dimension, however, resulted in solution. Also, the greater the number of nonspatial dimensions present, the better the learning. (Author/SDH)
