Emerging Differentiation of Folkbiology and Folkpsychology: Attributions of Biological and Psychological Properties to Living Things.
Coley, John D.
Child Development, v66 n6 p1856-74 Dec 1995
Examined whether children differentiate or confuse the domains of folk biology and folk psychology. Children and adult subjects were asked whether the animals depicted in pictures possessed certain biological and psychological properties. Results indicated that by kindergarten, notions of folk psychology and folk biology are sufficiently differentiated to constitute distinct and independent conceptual domains. (HTH)
