What is the 5/6 year-old likely to say?     

What is the 6/7 year-old likely to say?         
Discussion Thread:

What do these differences indicate about a child's processing at the three ages indicated?

 
     
  Answer: "A scooter."

The 5/6 year-old child may be more influenced by the configuration, the overall gestalt, than the details of the image.

 
     
  Answer: "A scooter made out of candy." Or, "A scooter made out of suckers."

The 6/7 year old child is moving into a stage where the perception of the parts and the whole may be seen and separated.
