The issue shifts towards exploring the relation between apparent symbolic behavior and actual symbolic insight on the part of the user or recipient. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe workshop discussed the pitfalls of inferring symbolic understanding from apparently symbolic behaviors and possible criteria that would enable us to ascertain when a symbol is being employed in an intentional, communicative, representational manner. Broken down into three parts, this volume: \u003cbr\u003e*focuses on the factors that influence the emergence of symbolic behavior in young, typically developing children;\u003cbr\u003e*turns to an examination of individual and population differences in symbolic development and the ways variability in symbol use can inform the cognitive mechanisms underlying symbolic insight; and\u003cbr\u003e*explores symbolic understanding in non-human animals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe text ends with a synthesis of recurring themes, questions, concerns, and conclusions, and offers a new perspective on the process of understanding the relation between symbol use and symbolic insight.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45236333510807,"sku":"9780415654319","price":5005.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415654319.webp?v=1769212656","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/symbol-use-and-symbolic-representation-developmental-and-comparative-perspectives-9780415654319","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
