Abstract

The study examined preschoolers’ development on naive theory of biology at the dimension of growth cognition, and also the individual difference and intra-individual difference. The results showed that: (1) Preschoolers gradually formed naive theory of biology. (2) Children under different educational conditions performed differently on growth cognition; younger children were more easily influenced by tasks, while the older children had smaller intra-individual differences.

Keywords: preschoolers; naive theory; cognitive development; growth
