Children were more likely to use inheritance as explanations for traits that fall under disability (dyslexia, blind, physical), and were more likely to explain traits that were not disabilities (broken arm, height, healthy) with behavior.
This indicates that when children are introduced to novel traits, they are more likely to default to inheritance and essentialist reasoning. However, it is important to note that throughout the study, children did use inheritance explanations for all traits.

Future studies should focus on how we introduce novel complex topics to children and examining biases that may stem from prior experiences and knowledges.
