Abstract

The relation between children's performance on physical and affective appearance-reality (AR) tasks was investigated with a within-subjects design. Children participated in a standard color physical task (a color cutout behind a filter) and an affective measure that used stories and pictures depicting characters who were hiding their emotions. The performance of 147 4- to 8-year-olds was examined underconditions of varying task similarity. As expected, older children performed better than younger children on both tasks. More important, children's physical and affective AR performance differed significantly only when the affective task required a greater use of inference than the physical task
