How Meaning Modifies Drawing Behavior in Children.
Vinter, Annie
Child Development, v70 n1 p33-49 Jan-Feb 1999
Solicited 6- to 10-year olds' and adults' perceptually ambiguous drawings to which two different meanings could be attributed. Analyzed movement sequences to determine whether movements were modified in ways determined by the model's meaning. Found that drawing was sensitive to meaning at all ages. Sensitivity differed as a function of the model and of type of parsing induced by meaning. (Author/KB)
