心理学家曾作过这样一个实验:用铅笔画出一个近似圆的图形,向很多人提问这是什么。结果,绝大多数成人都说是一个圆或椭圆,除此不会再说别的。但幼儿却能说出许多不同的答案,如太阳、月亮、西瓜、气球、狗尾巴等等。其中部分幼儿总是竭力提出自己认为更为合适的、不同于他人的答案,甚至还会展开激烈的争论。这种有意识地寻求与众不同的答案(或认识)的心理过程,即为“标新立异”。幼儿是十分善于“标新立异”的,因为他们思考的自由度大,受条条框框限制少;尚未进行大量的知识的学习,不会因为追求“最佳答案”、“精确思维”而限制自己的大胆想象。教师、家长常常提出的“不讲已有人讲过的事情”、“要画与别人不一样的东西”一类的要求,也会使幼儿有意识地去寻找一些不同于他人的答案。根据幼儿的年龄特征及对幼儿的观察,我们可以 Psychologists have done such an experiment: draw a pencil with a nearly circular graphics, to ask many people what it is. As a result, most adults say that they are a circle or an ellipse, so they will not say anything else. But young children can tell many different answers, such as the sun, the moon, watermelons, balloons, dog’s tail and so on. Some of these young children are always struggling to come up with answers that they consider more appropriate, different from others, and even fierce arguments. This kind of conscious search for unusual answers (or knowledge) of the psychological process, that is, “unconventional.” Toddlers are very good at “unconventional” because they have a great degree of freedom of thinking and are limited by the limited number of rules and regulations. They have not learned a great deal of knowledge and will not limit their bold imagination because of the pursuit of “best answer” or “precise thinking.” . Teachers and parents often put forward the “do not talk about what has been said,” “to draw something different from others,” a class of requirements, will make children consciously looking for some different answers from others. According to children’s age characteristics and observation of young children, we can
