Older children are more effective models than younger children (Peifer, 1971). Social reinforcement is more effective when delivered by either an older or a younger child than when delivered by an age-mate (Ferguson, 1965). Children are noted to contribute more to group problem-solving efforts in mixed- than in same-age situations (Graziano, French, Brownell, & Hartup, 1976). Reciprocal imitations occur more frequently among older-younger age dyads (Thelen & Kirkland, 1976); and since imitation is noted to be both a potent initiator and sustainer of interactions (Lubin & Field, 1980) this fact may contribute to the differences in frequency of interactions between mixed-age and same-age groups.
