The project investigates the development of scientific reasoning from preschool to elementary school age in a longitudinal study and a series of experimental studies. The development of a basic understanding of empirical testing, of evidence evaluation, and of evidence-based argumentation are central to the experimental studies. The first project phase yielded new evidence for early competencies in these areas in preschool age. The generality of these findings and their theoretical interpretation will be further explored. In a longitudinal design, we study the stability of individual differences in foundational competencies of scientific reasoning from preschool to elementary school age, as well as the coherence among different scientific reasoning abilities, and their association with key features of Cognitive Development (Causal Learning, Theory of Mind, Metacognition, Executive Function). We expect the project to contribute importantly to a better understanding of the relationship of cognitive development and early scientific literacy in children.

该项目研究了一项纵向研究和一系列实验研究，研究了从学龄前年龄到小学时代的科学推理的发展。对经验检验，证据评估和基于证据论证的基本理解的发展至关重要。第一个项目阶段为在学龄前时代这些地区的早期能力提供了新的证据。这些发现的普遍性及其理论解释将进一步探讨。在纵向设计中，我们研究了个体差异的稳定性，从学龄前学到小学时代的科学推理基础能力，以及不同科学推理能力之间的连贯性，以及它们与认知发展的关键特征（因果学习，理论，理论，理论心灵，元认知，执行功能）。我们希望该项目能够对儿童认知发展和早期科学素养的关系有更大的理解为重要的理解做出贡献。
