Performance and Reflection: Young Children's Concept of Word.
Templeton, Shane; Thomas, Patricia W.
Journal of Educational Research, v77 n3 p139-46 Jan-Feb 1984
Metalinguistic knowledge and its antecedents were studied in an investigation of performance- and reflective-based knowledge in 27 young children. Piagetian assessment tasks were used to determine cognitive functioning level, and then the children were tested as to knowledge of words' structural and significative features. Results support an interactionist theory. (Author/JMK)
