Intellectual Realism in Children's Drawings of Cubes

Phillips, W. A.; And Others

Cognition, 6, 1, 15-33, Mar 78

Children aged 6 through 9 made drawings of cubes and simple abstract designs, with or without looking at their hand. Copying errors and differences between the age groups were discussed in terms of visual realism (perspective drawing) compared with intellectual realism (structural essentials copied without a unified perspective view).
