Abstract: 24 boys and 16 girls ages 4 through 7 years were tested on an apparatus that required children to select the middle of 3, 5, 7, or 9 stimulus lights when arranged adjacent to one another and when spaced symmetrically or asymmetrically. Analysis indicated response time decreased with age and increased as a function of the number of stimulus lights in the task. Time to respond to asymmetrical arrangements was greater than for problems whose stimuli were arranged symmetrically.
