La tâche du sujet consiste à deviner la couleur du quatrième jeton à extraire. De six à quinze ans, la tendance à prédire, pour le jeton suivant, la couleur non prépondérante diminue de façon régulière, tandis que s'affirme la tendance à déclarer que le quatrième jeton pourrait avoir indifféremment l'une ou l'autre couleur. Autrement dit, dans ces conditions, l'«effet négatif de récence» diminue avec l'âge.
