Abstract
Adults and young children judged mirror and nonmirror pairs of stimuli. Within each age category, half of the subjects were asked to treat nonmirror pairs as 'same' and mirror pairs as 'different' and the other half asked to treat them in the opposite manner. With children, that first group made fewer errors on nonmirror pairs and the second group made fewer on mirror pairs. With adults, the same pattern was found using response time as the dependent measure. The findings suggest a nonperceptual explanation of mirror-image confusions, one involving conceptual and linguistic considerations.
