title: Social facilitation in young toddlers.
abstract: As a test of Zajonc's social facilitation hypothesis, the behavior of 18 young toddlers (16-24 mo.) was observed. Their performance on a simple task was incongruent with his hypothesis, that is, these young toddlers may not evaluate their outcomes in relation to a social standard.
