  • 摘要:Children learn to recognise animals from their earliest years through actualsightings in their own observations of their world, but also throughsecond-hand representations in various forms of media. Young learnersbegin with a template specimen to which they refer when they see anotheranimal that resembles it, naming the animal accordingly. Gradually,they learn to distinguish members of the subordinate category– bird in the case of the present paper – into subcategories. Accessingtheir mental model through drawings is one means of discerning theirinterpretation of both phyla and species. If children of increasing agesare studied, a rationale for the understanding of a such concepts may beforthcoming. The present study investigated children from 6 years to 14years though interviews, as well as through the drawings on which thepaper focuses. As children mature, they observe more and more detailsabout the birds that they see, thus increasing their knowledge not fromschool but from their own observations outside school.
