A Change in Viewpoint Promotes Use of Height-in-Picture as a Depth Cue in 5- to 7-Year Olds' Drawings of a Simple Depth Relationship.
Bremner, J. Gavin; Andreasen, Gillian
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v66 n2 p180-92 Aug 1997
Had children draw two blocks arranged in depth, and then moved either child or array and had children draw what was then a left-right arrangement; the transformation was then reversed for a final drawing. Found that when children moved to a new standpoint, there was a significant increase in vertical portrayal (as depth portrayal) between first and third drawings. (EV)
