Abstract
The proposed study examines whether children (5-6-year-olds) raised in secular households display an intentional design bias (IDB). This study uses a within-subject design to examine children’s endorsement of the intentional creation of natural kinds by another being during unspeeded and speeded tasks. Results will reflect how religion-relevant biases develop.
