Flexible Induction Of 4～5 Year Old In Reasoning Novel Words

Flexible induction is the adapting for probable deduction of changeable question, and is a research for the capacity of flexibility and induction. For example, in infant education, teachers often ask children to sort by different rules. For instance, first, they ask children to sort by object function; secondly, by object color; in the next, by object shape. The activity asks children to induce different kinds by different rules in same object, which asks children to switch flexibly in different sorting rules. Obviously, the ability is very important for human to adapt continual questions.The research introduce a way of Flexible induction of meaning, which aim is to open out children's development of cognitive flexibility in complicated cognitive task. In Flexible induction of meaning, which involves novel life having novel words. To control children's former experience to explore ability of contact novel condition, every stimulator is designed to be complicated. This task includes an important cognitive factor, which is language. In order to succeed, infant need inductive that predicate is the role of solving question and ignore other information of changing in picture.The paper involves 4 study. In the first, age and rule are independent variable, the result shows that age and rule is main effect, main mutual effect. Language plays an important effect in flexible induction. In the second, the result shows not six sequence made children perseverative, but different difficulty of rule. In the third, we want to study different orders effect, made age,order and rule independent variable, the result shows age,order and rule are main effect, and age and rule,order and rule are mutual effect. The forth, we explore rule difficulty, and prove again rule difficulty assuredly influence children's performance.By the 4 researches, we receive finally conclusion:1 .languageLanguage plays an important role in Flexible induction of meaning. The ability in language is higher, children is easier to inductive flexibly.2.rule difficulty Rule difficulty influence flexible induction of children, especially for younger children. The difficult is bigger, children is more difficult to understand. Moreover, when a rule difficulty is especially easier to understand and especially prominent, it is easier to form preponderant reaction.3.order effectDifferent orders bring on different behaviors. When rule is from more difficult to easier, it has higher performance than adverse order.4.age effectAge is main effect. The infants in 4 year don't pass the task, 4.5 year has a bigger progress, 5 year can pass this task. 4.5-5 year is the key time.
