| Abstract: | R uuth , E. & S mith , G. J. W. Projected afterimages and cognitive maturity. Scand. J. Psychol ., 1969, 10, 20 9–214—The hypothesis that projected afterimages will remain size-constant if they are not isolated by the observer as subjective phenomena is tested in a group of 20 children classified with respect to cognitive maturity. The less mature children, still mainly in the preoperational stage, are more resistant to size-increase with increasing projection distance and also report more positive hues. Tney apparently confuse their afterimages with real objects and thus fail to objectivize. |
