Abstract
Lockhart and Keil have written an interesting monograph focusing on the development of reasoning about medicine, a relatively underexplored area of research with potentially broad implications with respect to the design of more-effective medical interventions. In a set of 15 studies with well over 2,200 participants, they examine how children and adults combine aspects of biological and psychological reasoning to create working models of medicine. Lockhart and Keil explore developmental changes in reasoning about illness and its treatment using medicines in terms of dualism (e.g., psychological vs. physical), spatial proximity, differential timing of effects, potential side effects, and treatment tradeoffs. This commentary highlights the novel contributions of this monograph, examines issues that need additional considerations, and makes suggestions for future research.
期刊介绍：
Since 1935, Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development has been a platform for presenting in-depth research studies and significant findings in child development and related disciplines. Each issue features a single study or a collection of papers on a unified theme, often complemented by commentary and discussion. In alignment with all Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) publications, the Monographs facilitate the exchange of data, techniques, research methods, and conclusions among development specialists across diverse disciplines. Subscribing to the Monographs series also includes a full subscription (6 issues) to Child Development, the flagship journal of the SRCD, and Child Development Perspectives, the newest journal from the SRCD.
