Decision-Making Biases in Children and Early Adolescents: Exploratory Studies.
Baron, Jonathan; And Others
Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v39 n1 p22-46 Jan 1993
In three studies, children and adolescents were questioned about vignettes that raised issues involved with decision making, such as precedents, the role of probability, open-minded thinking, and errors of omission. Decision-making biases in children's responses were scored. Some age and group differences were found. (BC)
