“…On the issue of rapid training, the administration of a five-term extensive-training task in less than 30 minutes is possibly the most rapidly such a task has yet been given to children (e.g., contrast Berens & Hayes, 2007 ; Holcomb et al, 1997 ; Kumaran & Ludwig, 2013 ; Riley & Trabasso, 1974 ; Van der Lely, 1997 ). But over and above rapidity, adopting a modified five-term task could leave researchers with sufficient time available to permit testing of young children in other domains of reasoning or social/interpersonal functioning (e.g., attentional performance, working memory, mathematical competencies, language competencies, understanding other people’s minds, attitudes regarding out groups; Birenbaum & Gutierrez, 2007 ; Coleman et al, 2010 ; Ragni & Knauff, 2013 ; Sedek, Piber-Dabrowska, Maio, & Von Hecker, 2011 ; Von Bastian & Oberauer, 2014 ). This was the original promise of transitive research (Binet & Simon, 1916 ), and it might now be realized.…”
