Preschoolers' Understanding of Simple Object Transformations.
Gelman, Rochel; And Others
Child Development, v51 n3 p691-99 Sep 1980

In Experiment I children saw picture "stories" of the form object, instrument, and transformed object, with one item deleted. In Experiment II only the instrument item was deleted. (Author/SS)
