  • Title: The role of creative control and culture in children's fantasy/reality judgments.
    Author: Taylor M.
    Journal: Child Dev; 1997 Dec; 68(6):1015-7; discussion 1027-30. PubMed ID: 9418219.
    Abstract:
    Young children's ability to differentiate fantasy from reality has been seriously underestimated because of methodological problems and overgeneralization from children's performance in situations in which they had no control over the content of the fantasy and/or were presented with misleading information. It is important to keep in mind that there are many types of fantasy-reality distinctions, and that cultural context plays an important role in the interpretation given to children's activities.
