Due to the age-related difference in the reenactment with the two versions of the picture-book, Simcock and DeLoache selected a new group of 24 and 30-month old toddlers to study their reactions to black and white line drawings of the same picture-book.

The second study showed that the second group of toddlers performed relatively poorly when given the black and white images compared to the first group of toddlers who were given color photographs, proving that children are more influenced by iconic images. 'The results expand our understanding of the development of pictorial competence in the second year of life and point to an interaction between symbolic and general representational capacities in the performance of very young children,' said Simcock
