The picture test where you show a child a bunch of pictured and ask them to tell you what it is. Non-verbal tasks copy designs figure out patters say what a piece of paper would look like if cut or folded (transformations) Limiting factor for a 2/3/4 year old: cannot verbally respond, difficulty understanding instructions, conception would be different, hard tasks, most 4/5 year olds need to be able to do it so that it can be assessed. 4-year-old: was able to name the names of the countries on the map, surface level vs. deep features, knew more, categorization explicit physical features vs. implicit features. Rich knowledge and understanding: gobbo and chi (1986) study. 7 year old boys who were dinosaur experts.
