Seeing and Believing: Children's Understanding of the Distinction between Appearance and Reality.
Taylor, Marjorie; Flavel, John H.
Child Development, v55 n5 p1710-20 Oct 1984
Two studies with three-year-old children tested the hypothesis that, whereas errors of phenomenism predominate when children are asked about objects' real and apparent properties, errors of intellectual realism predominate when children are asked about objects' real and apparent identities. Results provided some support for the property-identity hypothesis. (Author/RH)
