Children often perseverate, repeating prior behaviors when inappropriate. This work tested the roles of verbal labels and stimulus novelty in such perseveration. Three‐year‐old children sorted cards by one rule and were then instructed to switch to a second rule. In a basic condition, cards had familiar shapes and colors and both rules were stated explicitly. In an uninformative‐label condition, cards had familiar shapes and colors, but the first rule was not stated explicitly. In a novel‐stimuli condition, both rules were stated explicitly but stimuli were novel on the first sorting dimension. More children switched to the second rule in the uninformative‐label and novel‐stimuli conditions than in the basic condition. Implications for theories of cognitive flexibility are discussed.
