“…The experimenter gave the same instructions to each child and made sure that they had understood. Children communicated with an imaginary listener, a procedure used in previous studies (Asher & Parke, 1975;Kingsley, 1971;Shantz & Wilson, 1972), which have indicated the absence of conceptual difficulty for elementary school-children; (Asher & Oden, 1976).…”

Research into human communication has been grouped under two traditions: referential and sociolinguistic. The study of a communication behavior simultaneously from both paradigms appears to be absent. Basically, this paper analyzes the use of private and social speech, through both a referential task (Word Pairs) and a naturalistic dyadic setting (Lego-set) administered to a sample of 64 children from grades 3 and 5. All children, of 8 and 10 years of age, used speech that was not adapted to the decoder, and thus ineffective for interpersonal communication, in both referential and sociolinguistic communication. Pairs of high-skill referential encoders used significantly more task-relevant social speech, that is, cognitively more complex, than did low-skill dyads in the naturalistic context. High-skill referential encoder dyads showed a trend to produce more inaudible private speech than did low-skill ones during spontaneous communication. Gender did not affect the results. Keywords: private speech, social speech, referential communication La investigación sobre comunicación humana se agrupa entorno a dos tradiciones: referencial y sociolingüística. Al parecer nunca se ha estudiado una conducta comunicativa simultáneamente desde ambos paradigmas. Básicamente este artículo analiza el uso del lenguaje privado y social, mediante una tarea referencial (Pares de Palabras) y una situación natural diádica (Lego), en una muestra de 64 niños/as de tercer y quinto cursos de primaria. Todos los niños/as de 8 y 10 años de edad produjeron un tipo de lenguaje no adaptado al descodificador, o sea ineficaz para la comunicación interpersonal, tanto en la comunicación referencial como en la sociolingüística. Las díadas formadas por los mejores codificadores referenciales usaron significativamente más lenguaje social pertinente a la tarea, o sea cognitivamente más complejo, que las díadas peores, en el contexto natural de comunicación espontánea. Las díadas de mejores codificadores referenciales mostraron una tendencia a producir más lenguaje privado inaudible que las peores, durante la comunicación espontánea. La variable sexo no influyó significativamente en los resultados. Palabras clave: habla privado, habla social, comunicación referencial

“…Researchers conducting early studies in this area assumed that problems in these referential situations were primarily the result of egocentrism, believing Piaget's (1926) argument that children under seven or so years of age will be unable to accommodate the perspective of the listener. Many of the early studies used hours of practice in mostly unsuccessful attempts to improve children's communicative skills (Fry, 1966(Fry, , 1969Shantz & Wilson;197two, Dickson, 1974). Later studies which assumed the problem was something other than eogcentrism met with considerable success.…”

The purpose of this literature review was to descri be (1) the factors lea.d;r;g to typical preschool pedestrian accidents, (2) t he develo:rmental characteristics of the preschool child that affect his/h^ e;^ behavior 'n traffic, ( ? social factors that may place a preschools at risk in traI'lFic, (4) programs cf traffic safety education for in-school and preschool use in the United States, and (:;) dreschooi traffic safety programs developed by f oreign countries.Detailed information relevant to each of these obje ctives is. presented in this volume.

“…However, little writing has been done about these problems because, by and large, students of cognitive development are not very interested in explaining transitions in cognitive functioning. A few social cognitive training studies have been done with older children, probably the most successful on being Shantz's ( 1970 ) effort to produce responsive communicative behavior in second-graders. Frequently, however, the researcher's interest is diagnostic; by demonstrating that one can increase communicative responsiveness in second-graders, one demonstrates the prior existence of the basic inferential skills.…”
