Classification Preference among Elderly Indian Subjects

Abstract

Thirty Indian adults were tested on a Piagetian cognition task which involved stimuli which they could classify or seriate. The stimuli consisted of a familiar shape, cup cutouts, of five different sizes and five colour intensities. There were 25 pieces altogether. In this situation, the majority of the subjects preferred to make a partial classification response, and none of the subjects seriated. There was a significant sex difference with the females using a more ‘primitive’ response category than males. The results are discussed in terms of possible reasons for the findings and further research possibilities are suggested.
