Torque and cognitive development: Some further investigations of Blau's proposals

Abstract

This study had three purposes. The first was to attempt to replicate the results of an earlier investigation of torque and cognitive ability, the second was to explore the domain of visual-spatial processes that may be related to torque, and the third was to examine developmental changes in torque. Forty-five children of each sex were selected within both the 7 year-old and 9 year-old age ranges. A task analysis approach was used to derive a set of visual-spatial tasks, which were administered to the Ss. Results were discussed in terms of their implications for Blau's theory of torque, and major inconsistencies between the results of this study and the torque theory were identified.
