 If generic generalizations are indeed sensitive to the nature of the property being generalized, might that account for other “troublesome” generics? In addition to being sensitive to whether the property is dangerous or not, it has been proposed that generics may also be sensitive to whether the property in question is characteristic of the kind (Cimpian, Brandone et al. 2010; Cimpian, Gelman et al. 2010; Gelman and Bloom 2007; Leslie 2007, 2008; Prasada and Dillingham 2006, 2009). Examples of characteristic properties of kinds would include salient, distinctive physical features (e.g., “lions have manes”), methods of reproduction for animal kinds (e.g., “ducks lay eggs”), and functions for artifact kinds (e.g., “Orange-Crusher-2000s crush oranges”). If a generic attributes a characteristic property to the kind, then the generic may be accepted even if few members of the kind have the property in question.
