Children actually CAN compute scalar implicatures & only fail when we proffer "worlds" that invite unintended inferences. Check out new work by @ebruevcen.bsky.social showing early success in a standard TVJ task for both disjunction & some/all & how this totally changes our lab's account of failire.

New preprint w/ @drbarner.bsky.social, and probably the most fun project I've worked on!!
Past studies find kids fail to compute scalar implicatures. Do those tasks test spontaneous interpretation, or do they proffer worlds kids would never consider? 🧵 osf.io/preprints/ps...
