Putnick\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Psychology Press Ltd\nISBN-13: 9781138876217, 978-1138876217\nSynopsis\nThe understanding of early deception is important for both theoretical and practical purposes. Children's deceptive behaviors provide a window into their models and theories of mind. On a practical level, childhood deception poses challenges for the legal system as well as parents and schools. \n\n In this volume, contributors from diverse areas of psychology -- social, cognitive, and developmental -- as well as philosophy and law examine the determinants of deception among preschoolers. In addition to a wealth of new empirical findings dealing with gender, motivation, and context in children's use of deception, evidence is provided for recursivity of awareness in children as you.
