Constructing Favourable Conditions for Measuring the Young Child's Understanding of the Terms "In,""On," and "Under."

Bremner, J. Gavin; Idowu, Tinu C.

International Journal of Behavioral Development, v10 n1 p89-98 Mar 1987

Children ages 1 1/2 to 3 years were tested to determine their comprehension of the terms "in,""on," and "under." It was found that children who listened to a pretest story involving the objects to be used in the study showed markedly better comprehension of the terms than children not exposed to the pretest activity.
