Abstract
PICK, ANNE D., and FRANKEL, GUSTI W. A Developmental Study of Visual Selectivity. CmLD DEVELOPMENTr, 1974, 45, 1162-1165. The purpose of this study was to test a hypothesis that there is a developmental trend toward greater flexibility of strategies of visual selection. Second graders and sixth graders made judgments about 1 or 2 features of pairs of pictures of objects. The children always knew what to judge, but in 1 task, different judgments were made in an unsystematic order, and in a second task, each type of judgment was made repeatedly for a series of trials. The younger children generally responded more slowly than the older children, but especially so in the task in which different features were judged on each presentation. Also, children of both ages could judge 2 features as quickly as they could judge 1. The findings are interpreted as supporting the hypothesis that older children's strategies of search and selection are more flexible and adaptable than those of younger children.
