Relation in Children of Psychological Differentiation and Reasoning by Class Inclusion.

Sampsel, Bruce D.; And Others

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v53 n2 p439-46 Oct 1981

Among third, fourth, and fifth graders tested, performance on embedded figures and leveling-sharpening tests correlated with performance on traditional items of class inclusion, suggesting that psychological differentiation is related to reasoning by class inclusion. However, age changes in differentiation do not account for age changes in class inclusion. (Author/SJL)
