孩子们的问题可能会揭示出许多他们认为在概念上重要的物体的特征。32名学龄前儿童有机会询问关于陌生文物和动物的问题。孩子们问了一些模棱两可的问题，比如“这是什么？”关于文物和动物的。然而，他们更有可能询问人工制品的功能，但询问类别成员、食物选择和动物的典型位置。他们从未询问过成年人认为不合适的文物或动物。结果表明，儿童对生活类和器物类分类的重要信息类型有不同的期望。年幼的孩子根据功能来构思人工制品，但根据生物适当的特征来构思动物。这样的结果说明了关于功能在儿童生物推理中的作用的争论，以及对儿童人工制品概念的解释。
Children's questions may reveal a great deal about the characteristics of objects they consider to be conceptually important. Thirty-two preschool children were given opportunities to ask questions about unfamiliar artifacts and animals. The children asked ambiguous questions such as “What is it?” about artifacts and animals alike. However, they were more likely to ask about the functions of artifacts, but about category membership, food choices, and typical locations of animals. They never asked questions about either artifacts or animals that would be considered inappropriate by adults. The results indicate that children hold different expectations about the types of information important for categorizing living and artifact kinds. Young children conceive of artifacts in terms of functions, but conceive of animals in terms of biologically appropriate characteristics. Such results speak to debates about the role of function in children's biological reasoning and to accounts of children's artifact concepts.
