| Abstract: | Children's representations of counterintuitive phenomena can be better understood if we take into account the following: (1) Children may develop a conceptual slot for "counterintuitive+real" phenomena, (2) Notions of "reality" in early children's handling of fiction. (4) Cultural systems of religious representations make particular demands on developmental processes. |
