CERCHIARO-CEBALLOS, ELDA e PUCHE-NAVARRO, REBECA. Inferential Functioning in Toddlers: An Approach to Micro-development in a Problem-solving Task. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.2, pp.117-135. ISSN 0121-5469. https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v27n2.66054.
The article presents the findings of a research on the emergence of toddlers' capacity to solve problems. The study focused on how 25-month-old children come to understand a safety gate problem, whose solution requires different inferential functions. A micro-genetic methodology was applied, using a problem-solving situation (PSS), in three trials during the same observation session. The analysis focused on inter-individual variations that allowed identifying tendencies in children's performance. The results are evidence of the problem-solving capacity of toddlers, expressed in systematic, organized, self-motivated actions and in the use of complex inferential processes.
