Two experiments were performed on 3 and 4 years old children, where they were tested in scenarios that involved simple object transformations. The result shows that both 3 and 4 years old children performed well in this task. The results show that children of both age groups understood the task but performance of 4-years-old was remarkably better than the 3-years-old.Downloads
