摘要

在發展心理學的研究中，大部分的人類心理能力都是被認為是由嬰兒期至成人期逐漸發展；知覺和概念形成就是其中的兩個例子。本研究分別對21位小學三年級學生和10位成年人施測兩種電腦化測驗：謬氏錯覺（Mueller-Lyer illusion）和威斯康辛卡片分類測驗（Wisconsin Card Sorting Test' WCST）。結果顯示兩組受試分別在錯覺效果和WCST的表現上（包括固執錯誤次數和嘗試總次數）均有統計上的顯著差異，這支持了人類心理能力的發展理論，最後對這研究的意涵和缺失加以討論。

It is beyond question in developmental psychology that most human psychological abilities develop as individuals grow from infancy to adulthood. Among these, perception and concept formation are two examples. In this study 21 grade 3 students and 10 adults were administered computerized versions of the Mueller-Lyer illusion and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Results indicate that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups on both the illusion effect and the performance of the WCST including the number of perseverative errors and total number of trials. This supports the developmental theory of human cognitive abilities. Other implications, in addition to the limitations, of this study are also discussed.
