Farrell, Azipe &McAdam studied a classroom of children. The students were being observed for the purpose of how they visualized things (method: visual analysis). Images in a picture book were provided. A lot of people think that children do not know how to interepret things because of their age. When in reality, children are more knowledgable than we think. Children hear and see a lot of what is going on in the world. They are much more impressionable than adults.
Some of the children that were looked at were immigrants. The researchers noticed that the immigrants interpreted the pictures in different ways than the non-immigrants children. The immigrant children intrepreted the pictures based on their own experiences. No interpretation in wrong, it is just based on how a person views things.
