Probability Learning in Children as a Function of Age and Reinforcement Procedure.
Winefield, Anthony H.
Journal of Genetic Psychology, v137 n1 p79-90 Sep 1980
Six-year-olds, 10-year-olds, and 18-year-olds were studied in a probability learning experiment using a procedure analagous to that used in animal experiments. It was predicted that children, like rats, would choose higher probability alternatives more often with a noncorrection than a correction reinforcement procedure. (Author/DB)
