本研究中的三个实验考察了幼儿对空间模式（特别是分层字母和几何形式）分析的发展。在强制选择任务中，4 岁、6 岁儿童和成人受试者选择两种选择形式中与目标形式最相似的一种。引入特定的刺激操作来评估儿童在不同条件下分割和整合分层组织的信息的能力。在实验 1 中，成年人作为计算机化版本的受试者，提供选择和反应延迟数据。在实验 2 和 3 中，儿童和成人参与了铅笔和纸版本的强制选择任务。结果显示，虽然年仅 4 岁的儿童表现出很强的分析能力，但他们将空间阵列的各个部分整合成一个连贯整体的能力比年龄较大的儿童和成人更弱，更容易被破坏。 (C) 1996 学术出版社
Three experiments in this study examined the development of young children's analysis of spatial patterns, specifically hierarchical letter and geometric forms. In a forced choice task, 4- and 6-year-olds and adult subjects chose one of two choice forms as most similar to a target form. Specific stimulus manipulations were introduced to assess children's ability to segment and integrate hierarchically organized information under different conditions. In Experiment 1 adults served as subjects in a computerized version that provided both choice and response latency data. In Experiments 2 and 3 children and adults participated in a pencil and paper version of the forced choice task. Results showed that although children as young as 4 years of age demonstrated substantial analytic competence, their ability to integrate the parts of the spatial array to form a coherent whole was weaker and more easily disrupted than that of the older children and adults.
