Acquisition of Spatial Antonym Pairs

Brewer, William F.; Stone, J. Brandon

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 19, 2, 299-307, Apr 75

A total of 28 children were tested for comprehension of spatial antonym pairs with arrays which contained four objects representing both members of two antonym pairs. The results supported a modified semantic-feature hypothesis, in which polarity is acquired before dimension. (Author/LLK)
