The Effects of Sex Typing and Sex Appropriateness of Modeled Behavior on Children's Imitation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barkley, Russell A.; And Others – Child Development, 1977
Analysis of the modeled behaviors of 64 children from 4 to 11 years of age indicated that a major factor in sex differences in children's imitation is the sex appropriateness of the modeled behavior relative to the observer when a sex-typed behavior is modeled. (Author/JMB)

Immediate and Deferred Imitation in Fourteen- and Twenty-Four-Month-Old Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Meltzoff, Andrew N. – Child Development, 1985
A laboratory procedure was developed for assessing imitation in the second year of life. Results demonstrate that 14- and 24-month-olds can imitate a simple action with an unfamiliar object, both immediately and after a 24-hour delay. Implications for research design and theory of infant memory are discussed. (RH)

A Developmental Sequence of Agent Use in Late Infancy
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fischer, Kurt W.; Watson, Malcolm W. – Child Development, 1977
A hypothesized developmental sequence of agent use in pretending was tested in 36 infants between 14 and 24 months of age and was compared with the development of object permanence. (JMB)

The Development of Communication: Modeling and Contrast Failure
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Whitehurst, Grover J.; Merkur, Anita E. – Child Development, 1977
This study examined the effects of two types of social modeling on the referential communication performance of 72 children in grades K, 2, and 4. Findings were discussed in relation to the process of referential communication development. (JMB)

Verbal Rationales and Modeling as Adjuncts to a Parenting Technique for Child Compliance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Davies, Glen R.; And Others – Child Development, 1984
Examines the relative efficacy of employing verbal rationales and modeling procedures as methods for parents to introduce a new parenting technique to their children. Two age groups, 3 to 4 1/2 years and 5 1/2 to 7 1/2 years, participated to enable assessment of potential developmental differences in children's responsiveness.(RH)

Acquisition of Multiple Classification and Seriation from the Observation of Models: A Social Learning Approach to Horizontal Decalage.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rosser, Rosemary A.; Horan, Patricia F. – Child Development, 1982
In two experiments, the effects of modeling on multiple seriation and multiple classification skills in preschool children were examined. In the first study, children observed models who demonstrated either multidimensional grouping or ordering. In the second, children received only single classification training on the basis of form, color, or…

Generalization of Training for Children's Listener Skills
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cosgrove, J. Michael; Patterson, Charlotte J. – Child Development, 1978
Investigated both immediate and delayed effects of two training procedures on the listener behavior of first grade children in a referential communication setting. The effects of variations in the presence and absence of (1) a plan for effective listening and (2) modeling of appropriate listener behavior were assessed. (Author/JMB)

Loglinear Analysis of Cross-Classified Ordinal Data: Applications in Developmental Research.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Green, James A. – Child Development, 1988
Provides an introduction to loglinear analysis of cross-classification tables, including tables with nominal and ordinal variables. Compares the chi-square test of independence with the loglinear model of independence. Reviews the advantages and overall strategy of loglinear modeling. Each model discussed is applied to data from the developmental…

Age and Sex Differences in Children's Responses to Babies: Effects of Adult's Caretaking Requests and Instructions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Berman, Phyllis W.; Goodman, Vickie – Child Development, 1984
In a double-baseline design, children were observed first after being asked to take care of a baby then after watching a male or female adult demonstrate appropriate interactions with the baby. Younger and older day care children (between 30 and 63 months old) participated. (Author/RH)

Effects of Modeling Action Sequence on the Play of Twelve, Fifteen, and Nineteen-Month-Old Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fenson, Larry; Ramsay, Douglas S. – Child Development, 1981
Examined the relation between the spontaneous occurrence in play of simple two-part action sequences and the frequency of these sequences and their components following modeling at 12, 15, and 19 months of age. Play following modeling was typically more advanced but only 19-month-old children generally were able to imitate complete sequences.…

Learning to Cooperate: Effects of Modeling and Direct Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sagotsky, Gerald; And Others – Child Development, 1981
Modeling and direct instruction were used to train children to cooperate rather than compete. Children in treatment conditions showed significantly more cooperation than did control groups after immediate assessment. Seven weeks later age but not treatment differences were observed in generalization of training. (Author/DB)
