If pretend play is a robust source of general knowledge for children, they should not require much prompting to generalize information from it. However, in past work suggesting that children acquire general knowledge from pretend play, children were asked questions that explicitly prompted them to think about kinds (e.g., ‘‘What do lorises like to eat?”). These kind-based questions may have invited children to generalize the information presented in pretense. Do children learn about kinds from pretend play if not explicitly prompted to think about kinds?
