scappare dal mondo o mapparlo? la costruzione del mondo la fatina dei denti: i bimbi usano i. x capire cosa diciamo loro. confermata l ipotesi realista contro il bambino/scienziato: i bimbi nn distinguono tra realtà sensibile e fantasia ma tra fantasie: esperimenti storia/finzione

Developmental research supports this "escapist" view of the imagination.

Effectively, I propose a radically different "realist" view of the imagination.

Children who were only told about the change were less accurate.
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 30
Here, we have a simple example of children using their imagination, not to escape from reality, but to guide their understanding of reality.

Here too, we see that children accept that the real world does not match what they have seen for themselves.

VEDERE NN BASTA

In a further study, we asked 5- and 6-year-olds about the existence of special beings such as the Tooth Fairy or God.

FILISOFI
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 44
Perhaps children listen to what they are told and trustingly file away some mental distillation (e.g., The toy is in the box; Germs exist; There is a Tooth Fairy).
Nota - Posizione 45
TESTIMONI
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 47
it is appropriate to invoke the imagination when someone invents a piece of make-believe but not when they simply register what they have been told about the way things are.
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 53
Many of the children fully believed in the Tooth Fairy – they had no doubts about her existence. No matter whether they received the "truth" or "fun" instruction, these true believers asserted things that could not have actually happened on her visit, for example, "She flied in the window"
Nota - Posizione 55
CREDENTI
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 57
Clearly, these true believers did not file away and retrieve a minimalist record of what they had been told about the Tooth Fairy. Rather they used what they had been told to create a richer mental schema.

Strikingly, such elaborations were more or less absent among Tooth Fairy skeptics

Does the imagination also infuse children’s ideas about causality? Many developmental psychologists think of children as little scientists who gradually make sense of the natural laws that determine what can and cannot happen. On this view, children’s imagination plays no obvious role in their ideas about causality. However, we have recently obtained results that undermine this child-as-scientist metaphor.

PICCOLO SCIENZIATO?

We began by asking if children differentiate between historical and fictional stories.

fictional stories often include magical elements.
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 77
Children concluded that the soldier who encountered only ordinary events was an actual person whereas the soldier with the invincible sword was make-believe. By implication, children of 5 or 6 years operate with the assumption that magic cannot happen in the real world.

Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 81
We gave children quasi-biblical stories – novel stories that echoed the kind of miracle that occurs in the Bible.
Nota - Posizione 82
BIBBIA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 83
Children’s reactions to these stories varied dramatically. Secular children – those attending public school and not going to church – thought of the protagonist as make-believe whereas children who had received a religious education thought of the protagonist as real. Essentially, the two groups differed in their conception of the real world

In conclusion, these findings imply that we should not fret about any decline of imaginative ability, as children get older. The conception of reality that children adopt owes a great deal to their imagination. Children, and indeed adults, look at reality and come to interpret it within the deeper, underlying framework that their imagination
