Factors affecting children’s alternation and choice behaviors
Tóm tắt
Following 0, 3, 6, 12, or 24 exposures to a red or a green tight, 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old children were required on each of 31 trials to choose either the familiarized or a nonfamiliarized light by pushing a button which activated the chosen light. Response duration (RD) on each trial was either 1 or 11 sec for all Ss. Frequency of choice of the nonfamiliarized stimulus was increased by familiarization but did not vary as a function of amount of familiarization. Both alternation and latency varied with age and RD, but not with amount of familiarization.
