Judging Who Knows Best about Yourself: Developmental Change in Citing the Self across Middle Childhood.
Burton, Sarah; Mitchell, Peter
Child Development, v74 n2 p426-43 Mar-Apr 2003
Three studies examined children's understanding of their authority over their self-knowledge. Findings suggest that the shift from reliance on adults to self occurs between 5 and 10 years of age, with parallel development in judging own and other people's self-knowledge. Children between ages 5 and 7 could differentiate between information about the self that was best judged by the self and information that could be judged by others. (Author/KB)
