How do young children decide which events can happen within fictional stories (extension) and learn new information from these stories (export)? In two studies, we investigate these two issues as well as the influence of story genre (realistic or fantastical) on these processes. Preschoolers (N = 192) heard either a realistic or fantastical story…

McAfee, Ciara A.; Wyckoff, Emily P.; Choe, Katherine S. – Infant and Child Development, 2018
Time is closely linked to people's representation of spatial experience. Previous research showed that adults primed with positive affect judged that they were approaching the event (ego-moving), whereas those primed with negative affect reported that the event was approaching them (event-moving). The present research investigated the…

In this study, we address the construction of the first symbolic uses of objects in contexts of triadic interaction (adult-child-object). We assume that symbolic productions are based on public rules of the use of objects previously agreed by the community. The first symbols are not rooted in any literal, evident reality, but in shared rules of…

The influence of a model's age on young children's behaviour has been a subject of considerable debate among developmental theorists.
