Young Children's Understanding of the Role That Sensory Experiences Play in Knowledge Acquisition.

O'Neill, Daniela K.; And Others

Child Development, v63 n2 p474-90 Apr 1992

Results suggest that an appreciation of the different types of knowledge our senses can provide develops between the ages of three and five years. (GLR)
