4-9 岁的儿童和成人被要求将一个立方体或一个球放在有特色或无特色的物体前面或后面。尽管大多数儿童和成人根据物体的固有特征做出反应，但相当多的成年人对观察者的方向提示做出反应。正如预期的那样，非特征对象任务对孩子们来说很困难，但他们的反应并不是随机的；像成年人一样，他们中的大多数人都使用观察者的方向提示。讨论结果时参考了因儿童不熟悉语言选择而导致的过度延伸的类比、皮亚杰的空间概念发展理论，以及对掩盖竞争线索的突出线索所确定的反应的首选解释。
Children aged 4-9 yr and adults were asked to place a cube or a ball in front of or behind a featured or a nonfeatured object. Although most children and adults responded on the basis of the inherent features of the object, a significant number of adults responded to the observer orientation cue. As expected, the nonfeatured-object task was difficult for the children, but they did not respond randomly; like the adults, most of them used the observer orientation cue. The results were discussed with reference to an analogy with over-extensions resulting from a child''s unfamiliarity with linguistic alternatives, Piaget''s theory of the development of spatial concepts, and the preferred explanation of responses determined by a prominent cue masking competing cues.
