Locating Objects and Communicating About Locations: Organizational Differences in Children's Searching and Direction-Giving

| description | Two studies examined spatial organization reflected in searches for objects and descriptions of locations. Six-year-olds and adults retrieved objects hidden on the floors of a house or directed another person about how to retrieve them. Of particular interest was whether children's searches and directions reflected clustering of locations by floors. Six-year-olds' searches were more organized than their directions, but a follow-up study demonstrated that they could produce organized directions if prompted. Analyses of the content and structure of spatial information in directions indicated that children and adults communicated the information in an order of decreasing size of spatial unit. Results are discussed in terms of factors underlying spatially organized searching and direction-giving. |
