 Despite the fact that people are often willing to accept generics despite knowing that only a minority of the kind has the property (e.g., Brandone et al. 2012; Cimpian, Brandone et al. 2010), the available data suggest that people are nonetheless disposed to treat generics as quite inferentially powerful. For example, if people are told that a given percentage of a novel animal kind has a property, they are often willing to accept the corresponding generic at prevalence levels of 50%, 30%, or even 10%, particularly if the property being described is dangerous and/or characteristic of the kind. However, if people are instead presented with the generic and asked to estimate the prevalence of the property, the estimates are very high indeed—often reaching 100% (Cimpian, Brandone et al. 2010). Preschool-aged children show a similar pattern (Brandone et al. 2015).
