These findings may also help explain why kids often treat "if" like "if and only if", since the perfected meaning may simply be easier to access than the literal one.

Two studies using RT and cognitive load show that conditional perfection comes fast and first.
Even biscuit conditionals like “If you’re hungry, there’s pizza in the fridge,” which don’t imply a dependency, were often interpreted as perfected under load, and their literal meanings took longer.
