Social Cognition and Social Interaction in Three-Year-Olds: Is Social Cognition Truly Social?

Jennings, Kay Donahue

Child Study Journal, v17 n1 p1-14 1987

Relationships among social cognition, social interaction, and general cognition were studied in 109 three-year-old children. Social cognition was assessed by seven frequently used tests; general cognition was gauged by the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities. Social interaction was observed while each child played with a friend in a laboratory playroom. (Author/BN)
