Color versus form discrimination learning in 1-year-old infants.

A comparison of form and color discrimination learning in 48 Ss showed that none of the color-trained Ss reached criterion, whereas approximately half of the form-trained Ss did reach criterion. Analysis showed that, in contrast to Ss who were given color problems, Ss who were given form problems showed both an initial curiosity about changes in form and an ability to solve form problems.
