It also investigated four sets of possible influences on this development: parents’ religion and spiritual beliefs, cognitive ability, socioeconomic status, and experience of illness and death. Participants were interviewed using the “death concept” interview that explores...

Gavin Nobes, Georgia Panagiotaki, Kimberley J. Bartholomew

Cognition > 2016 > 157 > C > 190-204

Cultural influences on children's understanding of the human body and the concept of life

Georgia Panagiotaki, Gavin Nobes

Children aged between 4 and 7 years from three different cultural backgrounds...

The acquisition of scientific knowledge: the influence of methods of questioning and analysis on the interpretation of children's conceptions of the earth

Valérie Frède, Gavin Nobes, Sören Frappart, Georgia Panagiotaki, more

Infant and Child Development > 20 > 6 > 432 - 448

Studies of children's knowledge of the Earth have led to very different conclusions: some appear to show that children construct their own, non‐scientific ‘theories’ (mental models) of the flat, hollow or dual Earth. Others indicate that many young children have some understanding of the spherical (scientific) Earth, and that their knowledge lacks the coherence of mental models. The reasons for these...

The influence of negligence, intention, and outcome on children’s moral judgments

Gavin Nobes, Georgia Panagiotaki, Chris Pawson

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology > 2009 > 104 > 4 > 382-397

Piaget (1932) and subsequent researchers have reported that young children’s moral judgments are based more on the outcomes of actions than on the agents’ intentions. The current study investigated whether negligence might also influence these judgments and explain children’s apparent focus on outcome. Children (3–8years of age) and adults (N=139) rated accidental actions in which the valences of...

Mental models and other misconceptions in children’s understanding of the earth

Georgia Panagiotaki, Gavin Nobes, Anita Potton

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology > 2009 > 104 > 1 > 52-67

This study investigated the claim (e.g., Vosniadou & Brewer’s, 1992) that children have naive “mental models” of the earth and believe, for example, that the earth is flat or hollow. It tested the proposal that children appear to have these misconceptions because they find the researchers’ tasks and questions to be confusing and ambiguous. Participants were 6- and 7-year-olds (N=127) who were...
