How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Do Both Pictures and Words Function as Symbols for 18- and 24-Month-Old Children? (2004, background): “There have been many informal accounts of similar behavior (Beilin & Pearlman, 1991; Murphy, 1978).”
One cow does not an animal make: young children can extend novel words at the superordinate level. (2001, unknown): “In contrast to this hypothesis, however, Blewitt (1994) reported that 2- and 3-year-olds accepted both basic- and superordinate-level words for single objects.”
Transfer between Picture Books and the Real World by Very Young Children (2008, background): “…sometimes confuse the properties of depicted and real objects, claiming, for example, that a picture of ice cream would feel cold to the touch (Beilin & Pearlman, 1991) or that shaking a photograph of blocks would cause the blocks to tumble down (Flavell, Flavell, Green, & Korfmacher, 1990).”
