| Abstract: | Conducted 2 experiments to (a) examine the relationship between dimensional preference and proportion of optional reversal shifts among adults (undergraduates) and (b) provide convergent validity for the relationship between dimensional preference and shift behavior using an intradimensional-extradimensional shift paradigm. Comparison of the present results and a previous study with children indicate that children's and adults' shift behavior exhibits the same relationship with dimensional preference: a shift difference occurs with a nonpreferred but not with a preferred dimension.
