Young Children's Understanding of the Mind-Body Distinction.
Inagaki, Kayoko; Hatano, Giyoo
Child Development, v64 n5 p1534-49 Oct 1993
Four experiments investigated children's understanding of the mind-body distinction by asking young children and adults various questions about the causes of bodily functions. The results suggest that children as young as six years of age have acquired an understanding of biology as an autonomous domain which is separate from that of psychology. (MDM)
