Consistency of Children's Inconsistent Preferences Attributable to Novelty

Bradbury, Hinton

Developmental Psychology, 11, 1, 79-86, Jan 75

The analysis of logical and antilogical influences on preference made by Bradbury and Nelson is extended to a consideration of choices by children in kindergarten, Grade 4, and Grade 8. Conclusions are drawn concerning the dependence of intransitive preference on the collative variable of novelty in choice context. (Author/SDH)
