We expected young children to probability match and predicted that the perceived dependency between choices would shape the underlying choice process.

Moreover, choice behavior did not differ as a function of the perceived dependency between guesses.

In addition, at higher gestational ages, children more frequently used retrieval strategy and less often relied solely on finger counting for the cardinality task.
