Here we explore whether children andadults are able to understanding category-property associationsin structural terms, locating an object of explanation within alarger structure and identifying structural constraints that acton elements of the structure. We show that children as young3-4 years of age show signs of structural thinking, but that thiscapacity does not fully develop until after 7 years of age.
