TLDR
In this paper, the frequency of alternation increased with age for the Ss who started both trials from the same start position, but did not change across age for those who started the two trials from opposite start stems.Abstract:
Seventy-five children of preschool age were observed in a cross-maze. The frequency of alternation increased with age for the Ss who started both trials from the same start position but did not change across age for the Ss who started the two trials from opposite start stems. Running time decreased with increasing age under both conditions.read more

Inhibitory Self-Control in Preschool Children.
TL;DR: Inhibitory self-control is proposed as a temperamental dimension in this article, and significant correlations between performance on a measure of internal inhibition (spontaneous alternation) and two measures of verbally regulated inhibition (a pinball game and Simon-says) were found.

The Development of Hippocampal Function: Implications for Theory and for Therapy
TL;DR: It is argued that the hippocampus may have two different but related modes of functioning, one of which is a gross or nonspecific inhibition of emotional reactivity in general and the other is a specific inhibition of an emotional reaction to a particular stimulus or set of stimuli.

Variables That Influence the Generation of Random Sequences: An Update:
TL;DR: In this article, a review of variables influencing human subjects' attempts at generating random sequences of alternatives is presented, including patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders, as well as relevant work from animal research.

Neonatal lateralization of behavior and brain dopaminergic asymmetry.
TL;DR: It is concluded that behavioral and biochemical asymmetries in animals are conditioned by phenomena present during prenatal or early neonatal (first hours after birth) life and that spontaneous alternation behavior is not present during the earlier stages of postnatal development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laterality, alternation, and perseveration relationships on the T-maze test.
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that (a) shock increases PB and lateralization but decreases SAB, (b) practice increases lateralization and decreased SAB but does not modify PB, and there are sex differences for alternation and SAB.
