Abstract

BUTZIN, CLIFFORD A., and ANDERSON, NORMAN H. Functional Measurement of Children's Judgments. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1973, 44, 529-537. Children judged attractiveness of pairs of toys in a 3 X 3 design. These judgments obeyed the parallelism prediction of information integration theory, thus supporting either an adding or an averaging model. An auxiliary critical test eliminated the adding model. Quite similar results were obtained for children 5-7 and children 7-13. These results extend the range of the averaging hypothesis of general integration theory from adults to children. They also illustrate the applicability of functional measurement methodology to obtain interval scales of subjective value for the individual child.
