"For wildlife, mean identification success rose from 32 percent at age 4 to 53 percent at age 8 and then fell slightly; for Pokemon, it rose from 7 percent at age 4 to 78 percent by age 8, with children aged 8 and above typically identifying Pokemon 'species' substantially better than organisms such as oak trees or badgers."
