Document Summary
Children use relative, not categorical, cues to reorient. These cues were available in a square space, which suggests the importance of relative cues over and above distinctive shape information (e. g. , rectangle) It remains an open question which cues are relevant in a distinctive shape since there are multiple types of relative cues. In fragmented spaces, children succeeded in the distance, but not length, condition. For example, in the length condition, the perceived shape is a square, which is uninformative for distinguishing the potential hiding locations (yousif & lourenco, However, there was a perceived shape confound. Design: in one condition, appendages were added to break the perceptual completion effect. Result: children used length to distinguish the corners, and they did so at the same levels as when only distance was available. But there"s a sex difference, boys (75%) > girls (50%)
