对 93 名 3 岁和 4 岁儿童在一系列不同反事实任务中的表现进行了评估。即使在控制了年龄和接受性词汇之后，三个衡量标准：短因果链、位置变化反事实条件句和错误三段论——但不是第四种长因果链——是相关的。儿童在反事实思维测量中的表现是通过接受词汇能力和抑制控制来预测的。讨论了域一般执行功能在 3 至 4 岁儿童反事实思维发展中可能发挥的作用。
The performance of 93 children aged 3 and 4 years on a battery of different counterfactual tasks was assessed. Three measures: short causal chains, location change counterfactual conditionals, and false syllogisms-but not a fourth, long causal chains-were correlated, even after controlling for age and receptive vocabulary. Children's performance on our counterfactual thinking measure was predicted by receptive vocabulary ability and inhibitory control. The role that domain general executive functions may play in 3- to 4-year olds' counterfactual thinking development is discussed.
