The new study, published in Developmental Psychology, involved 175 children. Their ages ranged from two to five years.

The children were shown a sticker hidden in a model room. Then on their own they had to look for another sticker from another room model that was in the same place. Two- and three-year-olds could not understand that the arrangement of objects in the rooms was the same. It wasn’t until about age four that children used a model of a room as a guide to locate an object in it.

Based on the results, experts suggested that simple cards can be read by children at around four years old. It also turned out that reading the map as a whole is cognitively easier than previously thought.
