The document discusses a study that evaluated how children and adults count objects in context versus without context. When shown pictures of partial objects like half a fork, young children tended to count each part as a whole object (e.g. counting 6 forks). The study aimed to see if providing contextual information would influence how children and adults evaluated whether an object fulfilled a count noun request. Results showed that while children were more inclined to count partial objects as whole, contextual information helped children's evaluations somewhat align more with adults.
