Peer reviewedRobinson, E. J.; Robinson, W. P. – Cognition, 1977
Children observed a communication game in which two dolls sent messages to each other so that the listener doll could pick out a matching card. Allocations of blame for inadequate communication were functions of age of the child, adequacy of message, correctness of choice, and child's proximity to speaker or listener doll. (Author/MV)
