Iw. Silverman et Mf. Ippolito, GOAL-DIRECTEDNESS AND ITS RELATION TO INHIBITORY CONTROL AMONG TODDLERS, Infant behavior & development, 20(2), 1997, pp. 271-273
To test the hypothesis that the development of goal-directedness depen
ds on the development of inhibitory control, 30 children ages 25-29 mo
nths were assessed on two batteries of tasks designed to measure each
construct. The findings provide strong support for the hypothesized re
lation.
