Morag Donaldson demonstrates that children can distinguish between cause and effect and among physical, psychological and logical relations well before the age of 7. The study focuses primarily on the linguistic abilities that are needed for explanation, and makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of the semantics and pragmatics of causal connectives.
