Effects of Media on Picturing by Children and Adults.

Seidman, Susan; Beilin, Harry

Developmental Psychology, v20 n4 p667 Jul 1984

Examines the hypothesis that adults and children have media-specific conceptions of picturing and that the functional uses of photography and drawing differ across development. Results showed an age progression from viewing photography as only reflecting the real object to viewing it as a medium that allows for control and alteration of reality. (Author/AS)
