Visual preferences of Mexican preschool children for abstract and realistic paintings.
51 Mexican children ages 3 and 4 years were asked to express preferences for 9 abstract and 9 realistic paintings on two separate occasions. Consistently, the children showed no clear preferences for abstract or realistic paintings and their choices remained stable. Implications for educational and cultural environments as well as children's literature are discussed.
