摘要	Chinese preschoolers’ understandings of the biological phenomena “growth” and “aliveness” were investigated. Seventy-two 4-, 5-, and 6-year-old subjects with equal numbers of boys and girls in each age group were selected from different socioeconomic backgrounds. The same children participated in the three experiments reported in this study so that both individual and intra-individual differences could be explored. Multiple methods, including picture-choice, retrieval, and classification tasks were used. The results show that 6-year-old children could distinguish living and nonliving things on both the growth and aliveness tasks, even when tested by different methods, whereas 4- and 5-year-olds’ performance varied across tasks and methods. Children whose parents had higher levels of formal education performed better than their counterparts, but the difference declined as age increased.
