“…For the small number of instances where children judged these stories as 'real', they did not refer to the target cause, and in that sense, did not affirm it as a possible cause. These findings are line with the decades of evidence showing that children rarely invoke supernatural forces as a causal explanation even when faced with unusual or unexpected events (Cornelius, Lacy, & Woolley, 201;Huang, 1930Huang, , 1943Mead;1932;authors, under review) and typically deny the possibility of magical outcomes in real life (Nancekivell & Friedman, 2017;Orozco-Giraldo & Harris, 2019;Subbotsky, 1994Subbotsky, , 2010Woolley & Cornelius, 2017;Woolley & Cox, 2007). Moreover, tempering the earlier conclusions of Corriveau and collegues (Corriveau et al, 2015), we did not find any evidence that exposure to religious testimony renders children more credulous towards the impossible events embedded in magical stories.…”
