In two studies first grade children (66 girls, 45 boys; 52 girls and 52 boys) drew a picture both before and after they had heard a story about a child or children drawing particular objects.

However, there was evidence suggesting that the sex-typing of the behavior of the protagonist in the story affected the children's responses.
