Early Representational Insight: Twenty-Four-Month-Olds Can Use a Photo To Find an Object in the World.
Suddendorf, Thomas
Child Development, v74 n3 p896-904 May-Jun 2003
Three experiments in which photo or video presentations could guide one's search for a hidden object showed that under certain circumstances even 24-month-olds displayed representational insight. The first two experiments replicated earlier findings of chance performance across 4 trials, with 24-month-olds performing above chance in 3 of 4 conditions. Experiment 3 ruled out perseveration errors and resulted in above-chance performance in average mean retrieval rates. (Author/KB)
