Children request teaching when asking for names of objects
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (6):1118-1119 (2001)
Abstract
We propose that in addition to children's requests for word names being a reflection of an understanding of the referential nature of words, they may also be requests for adult's teaching. These possible requests for teaching among toddlers, along with other indications, suggest that teaching may be a natural cognition that may be related to the development of theory of mind.My notes
