幼儿往往被认为无法区分幻想和现实。本文回顾了儿童和成人对幻想的信念以及他们倾向于从事被认为是“神奇的思维”的研究。“这表明，儿童在区分幻想与现实的能力方面与成人没有根本的不同：儿童和成人都有幻想的信仰，也会进行神奇的思考。儿童和成人在这一领域可能会有不同的建议，并为今后的研究提供了一个议程。
Young children are often viewed as being unable to differentiate fantasy from reality. This article reviews research on both children's and adults' beliefs about fantasy as well as their tendency to engage in what is thought of as "magical thinking." It is suggested that children are not fundamentally different from adults in their ability to distinguish fantasy from reality: Both children and adults entertain fantastical beliefs and also engage in magical thinking. Suggestions are offered as to how children and adults may differ in this domain, and an agenda for future research is offered.
