Children's Understanding of Action Lines and the Static Representation of Speed of Locomotion.

Gross, Dana; And Others

Child Development, v62 n5 p1124-41 Oct 1991

In two experiments, children and adults made judgments about drawings of a person walking or running. The drawings varied according to whether action lines, background lines, or no lines were present. Seven and nine year olds offered equivalent judgments of action and background lines, whereas adults distinguished between these devices. (BC)
