Differences in Preschool Children's Conceptual Strategies When Thinking about Animate Entities and Artifacts.
Blanchet, Nicole; Dunham, Philip J.; Dunham, Frances
Developmental Psychology, v37 n6 p791-800 Nov 2001
Preschoolers viewed stimulus sets comprised of a sample picture and three types of matches and were asked to choose a match that "went with" each sample. Children's choices indicated that a shift occurs between 3 and 4 years of age from a taxonomic bias to a thematic bias. Animate sample stimuli enhanced children's tendency to adopt thematic conceptual strategies. (Author/KB)
