- Title
THE APPEARANCE-REALITY DISTINCTION--MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE.
- Authors
Campione, Joseph C.
- Abstract
The programmatic series of studies provides a thoughtful extension of the development of the appearance-reality distinction and perspective-taking skills. The starting point of this research is the well-documented finding that preschool children have considerable difficulty dealing with the fact that objects can lend themselves to multiple representations. Conscious regulation allows the use of the skills and knowledge in the service of testing other theories and constructing other knowledge. This account provides important information about cognitive development in general, allows the integration of a number of different literatures and phenomena and leads to a set of testable hypotheses that can usefully guide further research.
