幼儿的组合能力在多个行为领域进行了检查，作为年龄（20 和 27 个月）和任务要求（组件的熟悉程度、组合的长度、组合的复杂性、集中/偏心的行动焦点、行为领域）的函数。代表了 6 个特定领域。在 4 个领域（物体游戏、假装、社交游戏、运动游戏）的诱发模仿过程中观察儿童的组合，并在另外 2 个领域（语言和同伴指导的社交提议）自发产生。相对于年幼的孩子，年龄较大的孩子在每个领域（包括同伴互动）产生的至少 2 或 3 个离散行为的组合更多，而非组合行为更少。跨领域的组合产生也存在一致的关系，也就是说，在一个领域产生更多组合的孩子在其他领域也会这样做。最后，5 个受操纵的任务需求中有 4 个被证明会影响绩效。结果根据对幼儿期一般跨领域水平的组合技能可能存在的与年龄相关的限制进行了讨论。
Toddlers'' combinatorial abilities were examined over several behavioral domains as a function of age (20 and 27 months) and task demands (familiarity of components, length of combinations, complexity of combinations, centered/decentered focus of action, behavioral domain). 6 specific domains were represented. Children''s combinations were observed during elicited imitation in 4 of the domains (object play, pretense, social play, motor play) and spontaneous production in 2 others (language and peer-directed social overtures). Relative to younger children, older children produced more combinations of at least 2 or 3 discrete behaviors in every domain, including peer interaction, and fewer noncombinatorial behaviors. Consistent relations were also found across domains for production of combinations, that is, children who produced more combinations in one domain also did so in others. Finally, 4 of the 5 manipulated task demands proved to affect performance. Results are discussed in terms of possible age-related constraints on combinatorial skills that operate at a general, cross-domain level during toddlerhood.
