Summary

In a large study, most toddlers were able to sort objects by shape when asked by researchers. However, when the researchers asked the toddlers to sort the objects by color, the toddlers struggled. The researchers hypothesize that this is because of the toddlers' insufficient prefrontal cortex development. The cortex is essential for functions like adapting to new rules, and continues to develop into adolescence.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

Some rule-breaking behaviors exhibited by toddlers may not be intentional.
