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

Results of three experiments suggest that, in contrast to the claims made by Wimmer and others (1988), three- and four-year-old children understand that looking leads to knowing. The three- and four-year-olds' difficulty in the study lay mainly in the form of the questions that they were asked. (RH)
