In two experiments, we showed children pretend-play scenarios in which two familiar animals showed a certain behavior in relation to some object. We then asked children about who shows that reaction. For instance, we showed children a scenario where two dogs were afraid of raccoons and then asked ‘‘Who is afraid of raccoons?” If children generalize information presented in pretend play to kinds, they should give a generic answer and respond ‘‘dogs.” However, if children do not extend the events in pretend play to kinds, they should give a response that is more specific and indicates the particular dogs in the scenario. To get a sense of how often children generalized information, we compared responses to pretend play with responses to non-generic language. For example, rather than seeing a pretend-play scenario about two dogs, children were told a non-generic utterance asserting that two dogs were afraid of raccoons and were then likewise asked who is afraid of raccoons.
