Key to Questions

l. Yes, if a bright baby.
2. No, baby doesn't care much
whether the colors in pictures
are true to fact or not. Some
babies seem to prefer their pic
lures in black and white and en-
JOY catalog from a mail order
house more than the expensive
books their relatives give them.
3. No, the older baby is more criti-
cal than the younger one. An
impressionistic outline satisfies
the former; the latter demands
more surface filling in.
4. Yes, frequently.
S. No. It doesn't make much diff
ference to baby whether he looks
at a picture sideways, upside
down or right side up. He can
recognize inverted pictures more
easily than the adult can. The
idea CT form and the idea of po-
Sition have not fused for baby as
they have for the adult. The
child as he grows older and more
developed ceases TO be indiffer-
ent to position.
6. No. Baby is interested in recog-
milton of the single objects,
taken one by one.
Z. Yes, at 2 years.
Next: We will talk about baby's
of space.
