Pretending and Imagination in Animals and Children Hardcover - 2002 - 1st Edition
by Robert W. Mitchell (Editor)
Summary
It is well known that children's activities are full of pretending and imagination, but it is less appreciated that animals can also show similar activities. This is the first book to focus on comparing and contrasting children's and animals' pretenses and imaginative activities. In this book, overviews of recent research present conflicting interpretations of children's understanding of the psychology of pretense, and describe sociocultural factors which influence children's pretenses. Studies of nonhuman primates provide examples of their pretenses and other simulative activities, explore their representational and imaginative capacities and compare their skills with children. Although the psychological requirements for pretending are controversial, evidence presented in this volume suggests that great apes and even monkeys may share capacities for imagination with children, and that children's early pretenses may be less psychological than they appear.
First line
This book is a delightful collection of scientific writings about pretending and imagination in animals and children.
