Children's Performance on "Animal Tests" of Oddity: Implications for Cognitive Processes Required for Tests of Oddity and Delayed Nonmatch to Sample.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v62 n2 p223-42 Jul 1996

Investigated the ontogenesis of oddity learning. Children and adults were tested on two versions of the oddity task using nonverbal procedures. Results suggested that children use different strategies to solve different versions of the oddity task, and in tasks in which stimuli are presented simultaneously, behavior may be controlled by stimulus relations.
