In both conditions, the experimenter began by introducing the object (screwdriver or spoon) and asking the child to identify it. Next, for the typical function trial, she brought out the appropriate complement object (a screw in a block of wood or a cup full of rice) and told the child, ‘‘See, this is what screwdrivers/spoons do,’’ while demonstrating the function (screwing in the screw or scooping the rice). The child was then asked to perform the action. Next, for the atypical function trial, the experimenter said, ‘‘Screwdrivers/spoons can also do this,’’ while banging on a drum with the screwdriver or digging in a sandbox with the spoon. Again, the child then repeated the action after the experimenter.
