DEVELOPMENTAL CHANGES IN CONCEPTUAL AND COLOR CLUSTERING IN YOUNG CHILDREN

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Two experiments were performed to examine the developmental changes in clustering criteria, using preschool children as subjects. The subjects were required to memorize the materials which were selected so as to be classifiable on the basis of conceptual categories or color categories. The results of Experiment I indicated that conceptual clustering increased with age while color clustering tended to decrease with age. The results of Experiment II, however, indicated that both conceptual and color clustering increased with age when the subjects were induced to employ categorizing strategy. These results were discussed in terms of three variables: spontaneous use of categorizing strategy, effective use of categorizing strategy, and developmental changes in clustering criteria.
