To assess the effect of stimulus similarity between original and shift tasks on intradimensional (IN) and extradimensional (EX) shifts under 2 levels of training, 4 to 6 years old children were trained on a 2-dimensional discrimination task. The stimulus change was determined by whether the stimulus values in relevant and irrelevant dimensions of an original task were the same as those of a shift task or not: Pattern 1 (same stimuli in relevant and irrelevant dimensions, same-same), Pattern 2 (same in relevant but different in irrelevant, same-different), Pattern 3 (different-same), and Pattern 4 (different-different). The results were that (a) the IN shift was easier than the EX shift under all patterns, (b) the EX shift was faster under Patterns 2 and 4 than under Patterns 1 and 3, and (c) the IN shift was faster under Pattern 4 than under Pattern 2. The results were discussed with reference to 2-stage theories which assume the transfer effect of mediating or attentional responses and original instrumental responses
