Abstract
2 groups of 4-yr.-old nursery school children were given pretraining and generalization testing sessions with an orienting (pointing) procedure. One group was tested immediately following the pretraining session while the other group was tested after a delay of 30 min. Both groups were presented in random assortment, with four arrays in three dimensions: color, shade, and form. The same round, blue S+ was used for each dimension in order to test conceptual shift in children. The results indicated that these 4-yr.-olds, who were pretrained and tested with an orienting procedure, responded significantly to S+ even after a delay of 30 min., and shifting concepts was facilitated by the orienting procedure.
