Children's Perseverative Appearance-Reality Errors Are Related to Emerging Language Skills.
Deak, Gedeon O.; Ray, Shanna D.; Brenneman, Kimberly
Child Development, v74 n3 p944-64 May-Jun 2003
Two experiments examined the communicative bases of preschoolers' object appearance-reality (AR) errors. Found that AR performance correlated positively with performance on a control test with the same discourse structure but nondeceptive stimuli, and on a naming test. Overall findings indicated that the discourse structure of AR tests elicits a perseverative tendency mediated by children's verbal knowledge. (Author/KB)
