Flavell, John H.; Green, Frances L.; Flavell, Eleanor R.; Lin, Nancy T.
Child Development, v70 n2 p396-412 Mar-Apr 1999
Interviewed 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, and 10-year olds, and adults regarding their knowledge about primary-consciousness, reflective-consciousness, and control activities. Found that the recognition that people do not engage in conscious mental activities when unconscious is still developing during the late middle-childhood years. (Author/KB)
