TL;DR: The consistency of biases toward stimulus dimensions and cue locations was examined in 96 6, 8, and 10-year-olds and it was found that the salience of cue locations or stimulus dimensions during inference was unrelated to performance in stimulus selection.
Abstract: SCHOLNICK, ELLIN KOFSKY. Generality of Perceptual Biases in Inference and Concept Usage. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1971, 42, 1937-1949. The consistency of biases toward stimulus dimensions and cue locations was examined in 96 6-, 8-, and 10-year-olds. They solved 16 2-stimulus inference tasks which varied the relevant dimension (color or form) and location of the relevant cue (in both stimuli, 1, or neither stimulus). Then they selected stimuli embodying the relevant cue from a set containing figures seen in inference and new stimuli which differed on the irrelevant dimension. The salience of cue locations or stimulus dimensions during inference was unrelated to performance in stimulus selection. Ease of inference and salience of cue locations were also unrelated.

TL;DR: In this article, 66 Ss in the presence/absence of another supported the salience of the adjacent position and the relevance of a concept of individual distance in seat selection, while the saliency of adjacent position was not emphasized.
Abstract: The seating preferences demonstrated by 66 Ss in the presence/absence of another supported the salience of the adjacent position and the relevance of a concept of individual distance in seat selection.
