Abstract
ROBERTS, GAIL C.; and BLACK, KATHRYN NORCROSS. The Effect of Naming and Object Permanence on Toy Preferences. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1972, 43, 858-868. 40 children, 18-22 months, were presented with 16 toys, 1 at a time, with half of the toys named for the child and half not named. Timed preference choices between named and unnamed pairs were then obtained. Stage of object permanence was also assessed. It was found that if children have achieved the stage of object permanence where they can follow an object through a sequence of invisible displacements they manipulate named toys more than unnamed toys. These results are interpreted as being consistent with formulations by both Luria and Piaget.
