Understanding of Permission Rules by Preschool Children.
Harris, Paul L.; Nunez, Maria
Child Development, v67 n4 p1572-91 Aug 1996
Examined whether young children can identify breaches of a permission rule and their sensitivity to the implications of such rules. Found that preschool children show considerable facility in reasoning about permission rules and can justify their choices. Results suggest that, when children violate a permission rule, they do so knowingly. (MOK)
