TLDR
The findings indicate that children do not treat all scalar terms alike and, more importantly, that children's ability to derive scalar implicatures is affected by their awareness of the goal of the task.About:

Are Generalised Scalar Implicatures Generated by Default? An On-Line Investigation into the Role of Context in Generating Pragmatic Inferences.
TL;DR: The results suggest that these scalar implicatures are dependent on the conversational context and that they show none of the autonomy predicted by the Default view.

Online Interpretation of Scalar Quantifiers: Insight into the Semantics-Pragmatics Interface
Yi Ting Huang,Jesse Snedeker +1 more
TL;DR: In these studies, the visual-world paradigm is used as a test case for exploring the relations between semantic and pragmatic processes during language comprehension and quick resolution of the target is found, suggesting that previous delays were specifically linked to pragmatic analysis.
