A Scalogram Analysis of the Development of the Use and Comprehension of "Because" in Children
Corrigan, Roberta
Child Development, 46, 1, 195-201, Mar 75
Nine tasks were designed to test the developmental sequence of three types of "because" (affective, physical, concrete logical) in 100 children aged 3 to 7 years. The tasks tested whether comprehension of "because" preceded its usage and at what point children understood that sentences with reversed clauses were incorrect. (Author/ED)
