Aureli, Tiziana; De Tommasi, Emilia
Early Child Development and Care, v151 p41-55 Apr 1999
Observed 12-month olds, with their mothers and independently, acting on objects from home and objects brought by the experimenter as new exemplars of previous toys. Found that conventional actions were more frequent in joint than in independent activity. In independent activity, conventional actions were more frequent with customary than with uncustomary objects. High cognitive level was more frequent with customary objects. (Author/KB)
