Abstract | Examined reasoning about physics principles within and across ontological kinds among 5- and 7-year-olds and adults. Found that all age groups tended to appropriately generalize what they learned across ontological kinds. Children assumed that principles learned with reference to one ontological kind were more likely to apply within that kind than to another kind. Five-year-olds projected concepts learned about people to a greater extent than principles learned about objects. (Author/KB) |
