“…switching from the “same” to “silly” game) as opposed to hearing the standard instructions that refer to a dimensional shift. In some cases, the task stimuli were identical with that of the standard task (i.e., bidimensional with each target card conflicting with test cards on one of two dimensions; Brooks, Hanauer, Padowska, & Rosman, 2003a; Kloo, Perner, Kerschhuber, Dabernig, & Aichhorn, 2008). Children’s relatively poor performance on the bidimensional reversal contrasts with their relatively good performance on the unidimensional reversal, which also uses the “same” to “silly” game instructions but with stimuli that only vary on one dimension.…”

“…Numerous studies have been published using reversal learning to investigate flexibility in a wide range of different animal species (e.g. rhesus monkeys, Macaca mulatta : Herndon, Moss, Rosene, & Killiany, 1997; Göttingen minipig, Sus scrofa : Moustgaard, Arnfred, Lind, Hansen, & Hemmingsen, 2004; North American corvids ( Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus, Nucifraga columbiana, Aphelocoma californica ): Bond et al., 2007; rats: Floresco, Block, & Tse, 2008; capuchin monkeys, Cebus apella : Beran et al., 2008; humans: Kloo, Perner, Kerschhuber, Dabernig, & Aichhorn, 2008; kea: Gajdon et al., 2011). Reversal learning is defined as the reversal of an original problem after reaching a learning criterion in the training phase (Sutherland & Mackintosh, 1971).…”

“…Specifically, if the post-switch rules are given while the target cards are removed or if the concepts of shape-rules and color-rules are explained in detail before the child sorts, 3-year-olds have less difficulty switching rules (Mack, 2007). Further, if children are instructed to play a ‘silly’ version of the pre-switch game and to match the test cards to the opposite of the pre-switch features during the post-switch phase (e.g., matching red to blue and blue to red) 3-year-olds are able to switch rules (Kloo, Perner, Kerschhuber, Dabernig, & Aichhorn, 2008; however, see also Brooks, Hanauer, Padowska, & Rosman, 2003 who show children are worse with bi-dimensional stimuli than with uni-dimensional stimuli in this ‘silly’ version of the task). This highlights that children's representation of the task-switch is critical to perseveration or success in the DCCS.…”

“…Another alternative account put forth by Kloo et al (2008) and Kloo and Perner (2005)—the Re-description hypothesis—frames children's difficulty in the DCCS around an inability to re-describe objects. They suggest that children use a more general matching strategy along dimensions (e.g., match by color) than a hierarchy of rules.…”
