The study involved 175 two to five-year-olds and is the largest of its kind.<\/p>\n<p>The research team says that this spatial ability potentially lays the foundations for math and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> skills. Lead researcher Dr. Martin Doherty, from UEA&#8217;s School of Psychology, said, &#8220;We wanted to find out when children can use scale models or maps to learn things about the world. So we played a hiding <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> with 175 children aged between two and five years old. We showed them a sticker hidden in a model of a room, and then they had to look for another sticker in the &#8216;same place&#8217; in another model of the room.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The two- and three-year-olds were not able to recognize that the spatial arrangements in the model rooms were the same. But from about four years old, they were able to use one model room as a guide to finding the object in the other. This means that children start to develop the basic skills that underlie map reading from the age of four.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Based on these findings, we predict children can read simple maps from around the age of four. Extending our methods to maps would help resolve a controversial developmental question,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The study resolves a debate about whether understanding models is a representational ability or a spatial one.<\/p>\n<p>Previous research had claimed that understanding models showed an understanding of representation. But the UEA team found that it is about understanding spatial layout, and that complex concepts like representation were not involved.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This tells us that map reading may be cognitively simpler than previously thought,&#8221; added Dr. Doherty.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                    Understanding of spatial correspondence does not contribute to representational understanding: Evidence from the Model Room and False Belief task, <i>Developmental Psychology<\/i> (2023).<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    University of East Anglia<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uea.ac.uk\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg><use href=\"https:\/\/medx.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Can children read maps at the age of four?
