Acquiring Cultural Forms: Cognitive Aspects of Socialization Illustrated by Children's Drawings and Judgments of Drawings.

Goodnow, Jacqueline J.; And Others

International Journal of Behavioral Development, v9 n4 p485-505 Dec 1986

Three studies explored children's adoption of cultural forms of representation. Investigated were (1) children's judgments from students' drawings about the age of the artist; (2) children's preferences for drawings and the extent preferences match teachers'; and (3) differences between drawings children produce for themselves and those they produce when asked for a "good" drawing.
