The ontogeny of serial-order behavior in humans (Homo sapiens): representation of a list.

摘要: The authors trained 3-, 4-, 7-, and 10-year-old children adults (Homo sapiens) on a nonverbal serial-order task to respond 5 items in specific order. Knowledge of each item's sequential position was then examined using pairwise triplet tests. Adults 7- 10-year-olds performed at high levels both tests, whereas 3- 4-year-olds did not. latency the first item test pair or linearly related that training series for adults, but not 4-year-olds. These data suggest older younger children, developed well-integrated internal representation serial list.
