A Developmental Perspective
Abstract
If we adults want to help the child cope with death, it is essential that we know something of the child's world of thoughts and feelings. For discussion purposes we shall consider thinking and feeling as separate dimensions and deal with them separately, knowing, however, that the two processes are inseparably intertwined in the real flesh-and-blood person. In the final analysis, death remains a mystery, yet people have concepts, knowledge and understandings about death and dying. We are not born with these concepts, knowledge, or understandings. Rather, they develop and are learned. How this occurs is our topic of discussion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
