Conflict of interest statement The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest. Footnotes 1http://www.culturaldiversity.com.au/news/94-news-and-events/214-the-wonder-of-words""To be awarded the First Class Boy Scout badge in 1911, boys were required to identify ��from observation six species of wild birds by their plumage, notes, tracks, or habits�� (Boy Scouts of America, 1911). For preparation, the Boy Scouts Handbook instructed scouts to ��notice the ��range�� of birds in your reference book�� and then look for ��a match�� by first examining the size of the bird (for Moroxydine example smaller than wren or larger than crow), then the location where the bird is observed (near ground or high up), then the color�� (Boy Scouts of America, 1911). This is an example of a binary sequential categorization task, which can be solved by sequentially asking binary yes/no questions (e.g., Is the bird high up?; Is it smaller than wren?), to rule out non-target objects and converging on the target object in as few questions as possible. In this article, we present three studies in which we examine how 7- and 10-year-old children, as well as adults, seek information to solve a sequential binary categorization task. In particular, we investigate how the level of inclusiveness at which objects are presented influences participants' question-asking. The process of categorization and the level of inclusiveness There is ample research on the development of object categorization during infancy and early childhood, when children continue to encounter new objects and situations (Bornstein, 1984; Rakison and Oakes, 2003). In the literature, two main views on categorization have emerged. The first view focuses on the process of categorization, and stresses the fact that objects can be categorized in different ways. The main finding is that people categorize the same entities differently depending on instructions, contexts, and task demands (Schyns and Rodet, 1997). Even young children change categorization strategies depending on their familiarity with the objects (Oakes et al., 1996), the distribution of exemplars (Bornstein et al., 1976; Hund and Plumert, 2005; Oakes and Ribar, 2005), or the properties of the category entities (whether they are prototype exemplars or not, whether the exemplars are presented singly or in pairs) in their task environment (Bauer et al., 1995; Oakes et al., 1997; Younger and Furrer, 2003; Mareschal and Tan, 2007). The second view, which we focus on in this study, centers on the structure of the objects to be categorized, often referred to as the level of inclusiveness at which the objects are presented.
