Resumen:
Pictorial competence is a mentalistic competence, communicative in nature. This study examines whether and how the presence of an adult as a receptive agent of children´s drawings has an effect on the early production of pictorial symbols. To this end, we compared 3-year-old children?s representational drawing production in four experimental conditions, three conditions with an adult as a receptive agent (Receiver) and one condition without a receiver (No Receiver). In the Receiver conditions (Linguistic Feedback, Graphic Demonstration and Pre-drawn Pictures) children were explicitly asked to draw five simple objects for an adult, who had to use children?s pictures to find the objects; the conditions differed in the adult?s feedback with non-representational drawings. After interacting with the adult, children were asked to draw a second set of the same drawings. The results show that 3-year-olds are able to produce representational drawings when they link into the communicative ways that others create and use pictures. Children adjusted the content of their pictures to the needs of the adult only after she had demonstrated how to create the drawings with the intent to communicate the identity of the objects (Graphic Demonstration). These results are discussed in terms of the complex relations between drawing, referent, artist and viewer.
