Investigating children as cultural magnets: do young children transmit redundant information along diffusion chains?

10 Nov 2008 The primary goal of this study was to investigate cultural transmission in young children, with specific reference to the phenomenon of overimitation. Diffusion chains were used to compare the imitation of 2- and 3-year-olds on a task in which the ... Read more...

Growth of analytical thinking skills over time as measured with the MATCH test.

29 Sep 2008 CONTEXT: Ber's Comprehensive Integrative Puzzle aims to assess analytical clinical thinking in medical students. We developed a paediatric version, the MATCH test, in which we added two irrelevant options to each question in order to reduce ... Read more...
