3～8岁儿童假装理解和绘画理解能力的研究

The Experimental Research of 3-8 Years Old Chinese Children＇s Pretence and Drawing Understanding Abilities

心理理论是发展心理学研究领域中的一个新兴领域。近十几年来，研究者对儿童心理理论的研究较多地转向了对假装的研究，尤其是对儿童假装理解的研究。许多研究者认为儿童对绘画的理解与对假装的理解也一样可以看作是一种表征行为。本研究对120名3～8岁的中国儿童进行研究，验证了Lillard2002年的研究中的一些结果，同时发现在本研究中的各问题中，不同年龄阶段的中国儿童和欧洲儿童的通过率存在着一些差异。

Theory of mind is a new field in developmental Psychology. In nearly ten years, the focus on the research of children＇s mental understanding has turned more to the study of pretence, especially the research of understanding of pretence. Many researchers believe children＇s understanding about drawing can be seen as a representation behavior of children＇s understanding about pretence. 120 Chinese children of 3-8 years age have attended this research, which validate Lillard＇s results made in 2002. At the same time with every question of this research, we find that there are much difference between Chinese and European children of different ages.
