摘要：The role of domain-specific causal mechanism information and domain-general conditional probability in young children's causal reasoning on physics and psychology was investigated with the participation of 121 3-year-olds and 121 4-year-olds recruited from seven childcare centers in Scoul,Kyonggi Province,and Busan. Children watched moving pictures on plhysical and psychological phenomena,and were asked to choose an appropriate cause and justify their choice. Results showed that young children's causal reasoning differed depending on domain-specfic mechanism. In addition,their causal reasoning on physics and psychology dffred by the developmental level of causal mechanism. The interaction of domain-specific mechanism and domain-general conditional probability influenced chilren's causal reasoning : evident conditional probability between domain-appropriate cause and effect helped children make more inferences based on domain specific causal mechanism.
