Some Facts One Simply Cannot Deny

De Villiers, Jill G.; Flusberg, Helen B. Tager

Journal of Child Language, 2, 2, 279-286, Nov 75

Children aged 2 - 4 were tested to determine the effects of plausibility on comprehension of negative statements. It was found that negatives about an exceptional item in an array, i.e. plausible negatives, were understood before implausible negatives. Other results are described and discussed. (Author/RM)
