Children's Use of Frames of Reference in Communication of Spatial Location.
Craton, Lincoln G.; And Others
Child Development, v61 n5 p1528-43 Oct 1990

Frames of reference that children incorporated into their directions changed with age and differed for directions about front-back and left-right dimensions. (RH)
