Infant Search and Object Permanence: A Meta-Analysis of the A-Not-B Error

Wellman, Henry M.; And Others

Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, v51 n3 p1-67

Statistical analysis of many studies on Piaget's stage 4 object concept attempts to synthesize available quantitative data. Factors of this "meta-analysis" include: (1) effects of age; (2) number of A trials; (3) length of delay between hiding and search; (4) number of locations; and (5) visual properties of hiding arrays. Includes commentary by Paul Harris and reply by authors. (RWB)
