Basic-Category Interference in 2- to 3-Year-Olds' Paired-Associates Learning.

Catherwood, Di; Boylan, Pamela

International Journal of Early Childhood, v23 n1 p3-12 Jun 1991

Fifty two- to three-year olds performed paired-associate or control tasks with response items that were related or unrelated. Children in the related task performed more slowly than children in the unrelated task. Findings suggest that children in the related task experienced interference in the acquisition or retrieval of paired-associate items. (SH)
