| Abstract | Implicit verb causality refers to the phenomenon that even minimal descriptions of interpersonal events (e.g., A dominates B, A amuses B) elicit causal attributions. 2 experiments investigated whether children of different age groups are able to (a) perceive the causality implicit in interpersonal verbs and (b) to detect patterns of cause-effect covariation (consensus and distinctiveness) presumably mediating the verb causality effect. Experiment 1 found that 5-year-old children detect the causal structure inherent in verbs describing interpersonal events and are able to indicate corresponding covariation patterns. Experiment 2 replicated these findings for 3-year-old children using a more sensitive method for assessing causal and covariation beliefs. Statistical mediation analyses supported the hypothesis that the verb causality effect is mediated by implicit beliefs about cause-effect covariation. Taken together, the results provide support for a covariation-based explanation of the verb causality effect. (ZPID). |
