Children's Memory for Drawings Based on a False Belief.

Robinson, E. J.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v32 n6 p1056-64 Nov 1996

Three- to 5-year-old children drew or watched another person draw what the children wrongly thought were the contents of a box. They were then shown the true contents, asked what had been drawn, and asked what they or the other person had thought was in the box. Children were more accurate at recalling drawings than beliefs.
