In the first series of experiments, researchers led by Emily Sumner at the University
of California, Irvine, asked 24 1- and 2-year-olds a bunch of two-choice questions,
some of which involved a polar bear named Rori or a grizzly bear named Quinn. One
question, for example, was, “Does Rori live in an igloo or a tepee?” Later, the researchers
switched the bear and the order of the options, asking, for example, “Does Quinn live
in a tepee or an igloo?”
