20 male and 20 female 6 yr. olds were shown verbalizing models who, in addition to asking constraint-seeking questions, illustrated partitioning of the stimulus array and the formulation of constraint-seeking questions based upon such partitions. Ss were exposed to 3 training conditions: a verbalizing model alone (modeling), one who removed eliminated alternatives from the stimulus array following each question (elimination), and one who illustrated his strategy on a series of increasingly larger stimulus arrays (graduated array). Ss exposed to the training conditions showed more constraint-seeking questioning than did untreated controls. There were also significant differences among the training conditions, with the elimination condition proving more effective than either the modeling or graduated-array conditions. Girls were found to be especially responsive to the elimination condition, in which the advantages of the constraint-seeking strategy for efficiently eliminating large numbers of incorrect alternatives were emphasized. Boys were more responsive than girls to the graduated-array condition, which depicted most clearly the model's partitioning of the stimulus array. Only the girls showed significant improvement in information-processing efficiency in addition to increases in constraint seeking. Sex differences are discussed as possibly reflecting basic developmental differences in information-processing skills between boys and girls at the 6-yr-old level.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
