The present study investigated children’s ability to employ probabilistic thinking in a task involving sequential events. In the sequential probability task (SPT), two boxes were presented in each trial and participants had to choose the one that had a higher probability of getting a reward. SPT designed three stages with different probabilities, and each stage comprised 15 trials. Our results indicate that even preschool children could employ probabilistic thinking based on their experiences in sequential events. Interestingly, participants as young as 3years old children tended to select more frequently the box with a higher probability of get rewards across the trials of the sequential probability task.
