How good are people's statistical intuitions? Recent research has highlighted that sequential experience of statistical information improves adults' statistical intuitions relative to situations where this information is described. Yet little is known about whether this is also the case for children's statistical intuitions. In a study with 100 children (8-11 years old) and 100 adults (19-35 years old), we found that sequentially experiencing statistical information improved both adults' and children's inferences in two paradigmatic reasoning problems: conjunction and Bayesian reasoning problems. Moreover, adults' statistical competencies when they learned statistical information through description were surpassed by children's inferences when they learned through experience. We conclude that experience of statistical information plays a key role in shaping children's reasoning under uncertainty-a conclusion that has important implications for education policy.
