Realist Errors in Children's Responses to Pictures and Words as Representations

In three experiments we examined the judgments made by 3- to 4- year-old children about out-of-date physical representations which no longer matched their referents. The referent was a doll wearing a sticker, and the sticker was swapped for a different one after a picture had been drawn of the initi...

description In three experiments we examined the judgments made by 3- to 4- year-old children about out-of-date physical representations which no longer matched their referents. The referent was a doll wearing a sticker, and the sticker was swapped for a different one after a picture had been drawn of the initial state of affairs (Experiments 1 and 2) or after the name of the doll and its original sticker had been written down (Experiment 3). We confirmed previous findings of realist errors in identity judgments for pictures and showed also that children tended to misidentify the name of a sticker in a written list to match a change to its referent. Thus, realist errors are not confined to representations which are iconically similar to their referents. Furthermore, children also judged incorrectly that the pictures and words had actually been changed, indicating that realist errors to external representations extend to operations performed on their referents as well as to their identities.
