Abstract
This study investigates the role of content familiarity in the comprehension of relational terms. Children aged 3;3 to 5;8 listened to stories and were asked to complete statements containing 'because' or 'so'. Half the stories concerned event sequences that were familiar to the children, and half were accompanied by pictures. When the story content was familiar, half the 3-year-olds and all of the remaining children demonstrated an understanding of at least one term. Half of the 4- and 5-year- olds succeeded with both. Pictures had little effect. These findings suggest that young children know the meaning of 'because' and 'so', and that later development involves changes in general language competencies such as the ability to create novel event representations from language input.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
