Young Children Understand That Looking Leads to Knowing (So Long as They Are Looking into a Single Barrel).
Pratt, Chris; Bryant, Peter
Child Development, v61 n4 p973-82 Aug 1990

The three- and four-year-olds' difficulty in the study lay mainly in the form of the questions that they were asked. (RH)
