Do adults believe in visual emissions
Fundamentally misunderstanding visual perception
Are Children More Accurate than Adults? Spontaneous Use of Metaphor by Children and Adults
A Cross-Cultural Developmental Study of Directional Asymmetries in Circle Drawing
Results have indicated a decreasing tendency to draw circles in a clockwise direction and an increasing tendency to draw them in a counterclockwise fashion with increases in grade. Blau labeled the developmentally less advanced, clockwise circle drawing as "torque" and further proposed that torque was related to psychological difficulties. The present study compared the direction of circle drawing for American students, Japanese living in Japan, …
Beliefs of children and adults about feeling stares of unseen others
Three studies investigated participants' beliefs about feeling the stares of an unseen other, which was apparently first examined by E. B. Titchener (1898). Results showed that most adults believed they could feel the unseen stares of another. Young children frequently responded similarly, although across age there were some increases in beliefs about feeling unseen stares. Several aspects of participants' theories about feeling stares from an un…
Development in the understanding of perception
Ancient philosophers, including Plato, Euclid, and Ptolemy, believed in an extramission theory of visual perception, which held that there are emissions from the eyes during the act of vision. Three studies, comparing college and elementary school students, documented a decrease over age in the belief of emissions from the eye during the act of vision and an increase in the belief that vision involved only incoming information. Questions about he…
On the uncertainty of conservation
Previous research has demonstrated that preadolescent children and adults will often fail to give logically correct answers when presented with misleading weight conservation questions. Study 1 showed that misleading weight conservation questions produced nonconservation responses, even after subjects had just conserved on initial misleading number conservation tests. This result suggests that the failures on the misleading weight items were not …
Adults' failure on misleading weight-conservation tests
Five studies were conducted on adults' responses to weight conservation question, constructed to give subjects a choice of 2 alternative answers, neither of which was correct. The results of 2 initial studies showed that adults readily acquiesced to the misleading implications of the questions. The results of 3 other studies showed there was more nonconservation when misleading questions were directed at the body than at external referents and th…

Understanding perceptual processes
In two studies, children and adults were presented with a weight illusion based on perceptual adaptation or contrast effects, in which one of two containers of equal weights felt heavier than the other. Of major concern were developmental trends in the extent to which subjects erroneously maintained that the perceived difference versus one in appearance and the extent to which cues alerting subjects to past adaptationlike experiences would affect…
The effect of misleading questions in promoting nonconservation responses in children and adults
An analysis of experimenter effects on responses to a sex questionnaire
Language versus logic
Children's Imitation of Story Content
In two studies first grade children (66 girls, 45 boys; 52 girls and 52 boys) drew a picture both before and after they had heard a story about a child or children drawing particular objects. The results suggest evidence of imitation from the story content. Sex of the protagonist in the story had no effect on the subjects' responses. However, there was evidence suggesting that the sex-typing of the behavior of the protagonist in the story affecte…
Analysis of the Relation between Conservation of Large and Small Quantities
Kindergartners who failed initial conservation tests involving relatively large quantities were given non-reinforced practice on conservation tests of small quantities, conservation tests of large quantities, or extraneous activity. Approximately 40% of the children in the small quantity practice group improved from pre- to posttests. No comparable gains were noted for the children in the other groups
