两项研究(N=456)使用出生时转换推理任务，比较了动物物种和人类性别概念的发展。年龄较小的儿童(5岁和6岁)将动物物种和人类性别视为等同的；他们做出了类似水平的基于类别的推论，并支持对这两个领域的发展的类似解释。相比之下，10岁的孩子和成年人认为性别和物种的概念是不同的。他们认为与性别相关的行为特征对环境影响是开放的，并支持基于环境的机制来解释性别发展。在所有年龄段，儿童都表现出对身体和行为属性的差异化推理，尽管这种差异化随着年龄的增长变得更加稳定。讨论了心理本质主义在指导概念发展中的作用。
Two studies (N = 456) compared the development of concepts of animal species and human gender, using a switched-at-birth reasoning task. Younger children (5- and 6-year-olds) treated animal species and human gender as equivalent; they made similar levels of category-based inferences and endorsed similar explanations for development in these two domains. In contrast, 10-year-olds and adults treated gender and species concepts as distinct from one another. They viewed gender-linked behavioral properties as open to environmental influence, and endorsed environment-based mechanisms to explain gender development. At all ages, children demonstrated differentiated reasoning about physical and behavioral properties, although this differentiation became more stable with age. The role of psychological essentialism in guiding conceptual development is discussed.
