初探兒童對形狀保留與錯覺輪廓發展

The pilot study of the development of the shape conservation and illusory contours for children

本研究主要探討兒童形狀保留與錯覺輪廓的發展。本研究採單一受試者設計，立意選取11名2-12歲兒童進行觀察物體旋轉的錯覺輪廓反應測試，並採百分比與描述統計分析。本研究結果發現：（1）2-12歲兒童對物體形狀的命名能力有差異，且有用詞錯誤情形；（2）2-12歲兒童都呈現對錯覺輪廓的反應；（3）兒童對錯覺輪廓的解讀受年齡與經驗而有差異；（4）兒童對形狀保留受年齡與經驗而有差異。本研究可提供兒童學習與認知等相關研究之參考。

The pilot study was conducted to exploit the development of the shape conservation and illusory contours for children. The single-subject design selected 11 children(2 to 12 years old) on purpose. Each anticipant observed objects' turning and analyzed by percentage and descriptive statistics. According to the result of analysis, four conclusions were obtained : 1) it showed differences for 2-12 years old children to naming but general situation of verbal error. 2) 2-12 years old children observed and found the illusory contours. 3) it showed differences among ages and experiences for children to explain and definite illusory contours. 4) it also showed differences among ages and experiences for children of the shape conservation. Via the findings of this study the author dared recommend some suggestions to advance future research about learning and cognition for children.
