Children in nursery school and Grades 1, 3, and 5 (total N equal to 75) were asked to match one of two picture choices to a previously presented stimulus. Two types of matches were based upon the physical information in the stimuli and two types of matches were based upon categorical information. A comparison of mean reaction time for the two physical matches indicated a large change between nursery school and Grade 1 in the ability to use specific visual information in the matching of pictures of familiar objects. The efficiency of matches based upon category information showed a steady increase across the ages tested. Category matches based upon pictorial information were as efficient as category matches based upon verbal information for all groups.
幼儿园以及一年级、三年级和五年级的儿童（总数N为75）被要求从两张图片选项中选出与之前呈现的刺激物相匹配的一张。两种匹配类型基于刺激物中的物理信息，另外两种匹配类型基于类别信息。对两种物理匹配的平均反应时间进行比较后发现，幼儿园儿童和一年级儿童在利用特定视觉信息匹配熟悉物体图片的能力上有很大变化。基于类别信息的匹配效率在所有测试年龄段中呈稳步上升趋势。对于所有组而言，基于图片信息的类别匹配与基于语言信息的类别匹配效率相同。
