Review of The Credible Shrinking Room: Very Young Children's Performance With Symbolic and Nonsymbolic Relations This study is performed on 2.5 year olds, and tests their ability to use their knowledge of the location of a toy (Troll-doll named "Terry") in a room (tent-like, with various pieces of common household furniture) to draw deductions as to where a miniature toy is located in a model replica (same fabrics, materials, etc.) of said room.
