Dual Representation and Young Children's Use of Scale Models.
DeLoache, Judy S.
Child Development, v71 n2 p329-38 Apr-May 2000
Examined dual representation among toddlers and preschoolers in four studies. Found that dual representation was as difficult for 2.5-year-olds with a set of individual objects as it was with an integrated model. Decreasing the physical salience of a scale model made representation easier for 2.5-year-olds. Increasing the model's salience made representation more difficult for 3-year- olds. (Author/KB)
