SUMMARYFive hundred and twenty‐seven male and 544 female children, aged 7–15, and 400 male and 400 female art and non‐art students were administered a shortened version of the Maitland Graves Design Judgement test. Of the 40 items used, a scale of 22 items was selected on the basis of factor analysis, and a comparison of the scores of the art and non‐art groups; this scale had high internal reliability, both for the students and the children. The scores of the children on this scale increased with increasing age, but the increase was small, although statistically very significant, and irregular; non‐art students scored higher than the children, and art students higher than non‐art students. Personality questionnaire scores were found to correlate with aesthetic sensitivity in the children. No correlations were found between sensitivity and amount of formal art teaching received at school. This, together with the relatively high scores achieved by quite young children of 7 and 8, suggests that sensitivity is not due to formal training in

摘要:

SUMMARYA complex problem, consisting of 12 graded elements, was presented to normal children of 1 1/2–5 yr and to severely subnormal children, in order to attempt to elucidate some aspects of early cognitive development. Strategies adopted have been analysed in terms of the plan and TOTE unit concepts proposed by Milleret al.It is suggested that an early phase when a repetitive behavioural sequence is directed towards an externally given end‐point, is followed by one in which the sequence is terminated at the appropriate point by the interpolation of a manipulative, or observing action after each repetit

摘要:

SUMMARYThis paper considers whether pre‐school children can perceive and remember quantity relations, and compares the relative ease of relational and absolute codes for these children. The methods used in former experiments which seem to suggest that young children cannot code relations such as “larger” and “smaller” are criticized. An experiment with 120 4‐yr‐old children is described which avoids the weaknesses of these earlier experiments. The results of this experiment, which directly compares relative and absolute tasks, strongly suggest, (i) that pre‐school children code quantity relations very well, and (ii) that, contrary to previous suggestions, these children find it easier to code relations than to code

摘要:

SUMMARYThe results of administering the LMJMPI to 280 normal children and 91 clinic children of 8–12 yr of age are reported. The analysis gave rise to two dimensions of personality which can be identified as neuroticism and extraversion and are completely independent of each other. The findings also show the ability of the LMJMPI to distinguish the clinical group from normals, even when used on a young population of 8–12‐yr‐old children. This suggests that the LMJMPI retains its reliability and validity when used with the younger children, and shows a reliable degree of concordance with psychiatric classif

摘要:

SUMMARYDevelopmental data were obtained on the ability to discriminate between the sexes on the basis of dress, hair and genitalia. The focus of interest was on developmental changes in ability to discriminate on the basis of genitalia and in knowledge that the genital cue constitutes the critical characteristic. It was found that about half of a group of 7‐yr‐old children were able to discriminate on the basis of the genital cue while significantly more than half of the 9‐yr‐olds manifested such discrimination. However, it was only in the 11‐yr‐old group that more than half of theSs appeared to be aware that the genital cue is thedominantcharacteristic differentiating boys

摘要:

SUMMARYA 6‐yr‐old male's disruptive classroom behavior was modified by a combined use of individual and group contingencies. When a tantrum occurred the child was put into an adjoining cloakroom. The deviant child, as well as the entire class, was rewarded with candy for periods of non‐tantrum behavior. Although only tantrum behavior was focused upon, by the time the tantrums had decreased substantially, other deviant classroom behaviors had also decreased significantly and the deviant child's peer relationships and school work had imp
