Abstract
⺠Counterfactual reasoning (CFR) develops gradually between 6 and 12 years. ⺠This development is not solely due to better executive functioning. ⺠CFR means creating the nearest possible world of a specific event. ⺠Children who fail lack an understanding of what to import from the specific event. ⺠They rather apply conditionals that express general regularities.
