REPRODUCTION OF ORIENTATION OF KOHS‐TYPE FIGURES: A CROSS‐CULTURAL STUDY
Adults and children from Zambia as well as children from Iceland were used to evaluate hypotheses that rotation of reproduced patterns in a Kohs‐like task is not random but is such as to increase the ‘stability’ of the model and its symmetry about the median plane, and that the symmetry is of second...

The Icelandic sample made so few erroneous responses that their data could not be used in evaluating the hypotheses. |
