Transfer in Young Children's Understanding of Spatial Representations

Abstract: The creative and flexible use of symbols is a unique human ability. In order to use a symbol, one must understand the basic relation between the symbol and what it represents. How do young children come to appreciate such relations? One possibility is that insight into one symbolic relation helps children appreciate different ones. The 3 studies presented here support this possibility. In Experiments 1 and 2, both 2.5- and 3.0-year-old children showed transfer from an easy task that required appreciation of a … Show more

This was done in order to see both, if children benefited from the experience in the previous task (DeLoache, Simcock & Marzolf, 2004;Marzolf & DeLoache, 1994;Peralta & Salsa, 2003), or if they failed due because the old information interfered with the new one (Ganea & Harris, 2013). The most important result found in this regard was that when the child started Searching, the execution in Indicate improved.…”
