Depth Relationships in Young Children's Drawings.

Light, P. H.; MacIntosh, E.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v30 n1 p79-87 Aug 1980

Young children drew two opaque objects placed one behind the other. Over two-thirds of the children drew the objects separately in horizontal or vertical relationships. When drawing an object in a glass beaker, half of the children depicted the object vertically or horizontally separate from the beaker. (Author/DB)
