Scale Error

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Doing a bit of studying for upcoming psychology exams today and came across this thing that is seen in young kids called 'scale error'. Basically they can't differentiate between big things and their model counterparts, so you have kids trying to get into model versions of those yellow and red cars that they go about in, and trying to sit down on tiny little chairs.

Anyway here's some clips: http://www.faculty.virginia.edu/childstudycenter/clips.html

There's a particularly funny one of this fat kid trying to go down a slide that's about 2 inches tall. :lol:

    dunno whether it's fair to call that kid fat though, it's a toddler and they kinda just are that shape til they straighten out a bit.

    (Ted holds up a toy cow to Dougal)
    "This is a SMALL COW."
    (Ted points out the window)
    "Those cows are FAR AWAY."
