Notes and Discussion

  • Children's deictic and nondeictic interpretations of the spatial locatives in front of and behind

  • Maureen V. Cox, Sarah Isard
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    17 February 2009, pp. 481-488

  • A younger group (mean age 5;10) and an older group (mean age 9;11) of children were asked to place a toy man IN FRONT OF or BEHIND a car which either faced away from them or faced sideways. When the observer's viewpoint was not emphasized in the instructions, or was merely implied, both age groups responded in a nondeictic way. When the viewpoint of the observer was an essential component of the task and the spatial term was omitted, both age groups selected a deictic location. However, when the viewpoint was emphasized but when the spatial term was also included the responses were split between deictic and nondeictic locations.
