Pictorial competence, which refers to the many factors involved in perceiving, interpreting, understanding, and using pictures, develops gradually over the first few years of life. Although experience is not required for accurate perception of pictures, it is necessary for understanding the nature of pictures. Infants initially respond to depicted objects as if they were real objects and toddlers are remarkably insensitive to picture orientation Only gradually do young children figure out the nature of pictures and how they are used.
