Children's Understanding of Inference As a Source of Knowledge.
Sodian, Beate; Wimmer, Heinz
Child Development, v58 n2 p424-33 Apr 1987
Four experiments studied 4- to 6-year-old children's understanding of inferential reasoning as a source of knowledge. To assess understanding that knowledge of relevant premises leads to knowledge of the conclusion, children had to judge the knowledge of another person, who was presented to the child as being aware of two premises.
