“…The high level of performance of the children in these studies relative to that in prior research concerned with psychological phenomena (e.g., Cicone et al, 1981;Keil, 1986;Winner & Gardner, 1977;Winner et al, 1976) may be attributable to the fact that children in the previous studies had less familiarity or knowledge about the content on which the metaphors were based. Our results, therefore, seem compatible with the suggestion made by several authors (e.g., Keil, 1983Keil, , 1986Palermo, 1986Palermo, , 1988Vosniadou et al, 1984) that, if the figurative language pertains to a content area about which the children have knowledge, other things being equal, performance will be high by adult standards. On this argument, the development of metaphor comprehension rests heavily on the child's acquiring the knowledge that will make it possible to relate the tenor and vehicle in any particular metaphor.…”

“…A konstruktivizmus számos 20. századi elméletre építve alakította ki sajátos tanuláselméleti megközelítését, amely szerint a megismerő rendszerek maguk hozzák létre a tudást, amely nyomán maguk az ismeretrendszerek is konstrukció eredményei (auSubel, 1968;glaSerSfeld, 1995;gunStone, 1988;karMiloff-SMith, 1992;Maturana, 1988;nahalka, 2002;PalerMo, 1989;PoPe és gilbert, 1983;riegler, 1994;Valera és mtsai, 1991). A konstruktivizmus a különböző ismeretek befogadását nem a tudás elsajátítási folyamataként, hanem individuális tudáskonstrukciós folyamatként fogja fel.…”
