摘要：

Children were tested for their ability to imagine a pretend transformation and select a representation of its outcome. In Experiment 1, children aged 2 years and above were successful in choosing the correct representation of the imagined transformation, whether represented by a picture or toy. Children below 2 years were unsuccessful on both types of representation. In Experiment 2, children below 2 years, unlike children above 2 years, were unsuccessful in selecting a representation of an actual as well as a pretend transformation. Implications for children's understanding of pretense and iconic symbolism are discussed.
