Do children think of the self as the soul?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 December 2006
Abstract:
Bering's work provides new insight into the child's concept of the self. For his results indicate that children don't regard bodily identity as required for identity of self across time. Bering's methodology for investigating afterlife beliefs might also be exploited to explore the extent to which children think that psychological similarity is required for sameness of self.
