Abstract
SHAKLEE, HARRIET, and TUCKER, DIANE. Cognitive Bases of Development in Inferences of Ability. CaHLD DEVELOPMENT, 1979, 50, 904-907. An experiment explored the role of informationsummary skills in making inferences about an actor's ability. Preschool and kindergarten children were shown carnival-game sequences, each of which pictured an actor's outcome at 4 game trials. At 1 session, children summarized the game outcomes after every sequence; at a second session, subjects judged the actor's ability after viewing the trials. Subjects' performances at the ability and summary judgments suggest that accurate summary information is not a sufficient basis of outcome-based ability inference.
