Concepts of Pictures on Display

When do viewers acquire a fully explicit unprompted concept of what is communicatively important about displays of pictures? On two trials, one week apart, 120 Greek informants explained what a kadro is. The Greek term kadro literally means frame, but also means “that which has been framed as a display piece.” Children aged four and eight years represented these important artefacts only as furnishings. Adults and adolescents referred to 1) commemoration of artists' achievement, and 2) public display of taste and judgment.
