The relation between children's performance on physical and affective appearance-reality (AR) tasks was investigated with a within-subjects design. Children participated in a standard color physical task (a color cutout behind a filter) and an affective measure that used stories and pictures depicting characters who were hiding their emotions. The performance of 147 4- to 8-year-olds was examined under conditions of varying task similarity. As expected, older children performed better than younger children on both tasks. More important, children's physical and affective AR performance differed significantly only when the affective task required a greater use of inference than the physical task. Results are discussed in terms of the general representational ability underlying AR performance across domains and the ecological validity of these findings.
