The development of the sequence of spatial representations in children conforms to the “main sequence” identified in the construction of spatial representation in adults, as a potential explanation for the extensive parallelisms identified among ontogenesis, microgenesis, the course of pathology, and the recovery of function following pathological insult.
Advances in child development and behaviorUnderstanding Maps as Symbols: The Development of Map Concepts in Children
188 Citations1989Lynn S. Liben, Roger M. Downs
The data support the view that maps are not transparent and that children's abilities to understand, use, and create maps are linked to their developing representational and spatial skills.

CognitionEarly map use as an unlearned ability
116 Citations1986Barbara Landau
Analysis of the requirements of this simple map task suggests that a core of the knowledge required to use maps is a readily accessible product of a spatial knowledge system common to both the blind and sighted.
Addictive BehaviorsYoung children's understanding of smoking
86 Citations1986Christine Eiser, Susan Walsh +1 more
There was the increase with age in children's awareness that smoking could be used to control negative mood states rather than simply result in positive enjoyment, and much social, rather than purely cognitive learning, of beliefs about smoking among children.
Child DevelopmentThe Development of Map-reading Skills
75 Citations1982Clark C. Presson
The present study investigated the development of map-reading skills in kindergartners and second graders and found that at both grades subjects were able to extract information from the maps to guide search.
