Peer reviewedBerzonsky, Michael D. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1987
Discusses five- and six-year-old children's conceptions of life and death. Children were questioned about animals, plants, and inanimate objects. The most errors occurred when children judged inanimate objects; the fewest when they judged animals. The order of questions about either life or death significantly influenced children's responses.
