Mar 8, 2016 · As expected, our results showed that metaphor interpretation improves across development, as has been shown by other developmental studies [15, 21, 54]. We found that the ability to understand metaphors is present by age 11 and that there is also clear progress from age 11 to age 15, and from age 15 to young adulthood.

May 13, 2024 · We deployed a Visual World, eye-tracking paradigm, which allowed us to test both children’s final interpretation of a metaphor as well as their developing online metaphor processing skills. The goal of our study was three-fold. First, we aimed to investigate how children aged 3-9 comprehend such metaphors when the task is age-appropriate.
Jan 1, 2020 · This finding indicates an early development of metaphor understanding and disconfirms the traditional view that children do not access metaphor before age 8 (e.g., Winner, 1988/1997). Rather, our findings replicate recent studies showing signs of metaphor understanding from age 3 (e.g., Pouscoulous and Tomasello, 2019 , Deamer, 2013 , Bühler et al., 2018 ).

subjects' metaphor interpretations were scored for cognitive complexity. Metaphor score in- creased with age, and the developmental curves were parallel across the four samples. For metaphor score, effects due to language or socioeconomic status were of small magnitude in relation to those due to age.
May 2, 2019 · Dent and Rosenberg (Citation 1990) investigated developmental changes in children’s abilities to comprehend visual metaphors (e.g., a wrinkled apple with added eyes and mouth forming a face; as measured by their use of verbal metaphor, and found that from ages five to seven children improve in their ability to understand visual metaphors.
