Effect of Stimulus Configuration on Spatial Judgments in Search Tasks.

Braine, Lila G.; Greene, Sharon L.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v43 n1 p1-12 Feb 1987

To investigate the effect on young children's coding of spatial information, an array of boxes was varied in number, size, and arrangement and was shown to 20 toddlers. Only the number of boxes defining the left and right sides of the array influenced performance; that is, multiple boxes were associated with the use of external objects as spatial referents.
