At what age would you expect a child to be able to point out objects on a page? For example, on a page with different animals on it, you say "where's the dog/cow/duck" and the child points with one finger to the correct one and says/tries to say the word? And ditto with images like apple/toothbrush/car... is there a different stage of recognising real objects and ones in photographs/cartoon-type representations?
Obviously I expect there to be an age range for this, as everything else, all children being different etc, and I am not making any points about what these skills might signify in later life, nor am I making any points about my own kids, so please don't jump on me (people who ask developmental questions do tend to get mashed a bit on MN!)
