The Classification of Children's Knowledge: Development on the Balance-Scale and Inclined-Plane Tasks.

Ferretti, Ralph P.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v39 n1 p131-60 Feb 1985

Applies to the inclined-plane task Siegler's (1981) observation that performance on Piagetian tasks is governed by similar rule structures. Also replicates Siegler's original observations about the development on the balance-scale task and determines the consistency in children's rule usage across tasks. (Author/AS)
