What makes the windows task difficult for young children: rule inference or rule use?

Article Abstract:

The windows task requires a child to identify from two windows, of which one is empty and other has a treat. The performance of 3 1/2 year olds is compared who were asked to identify the window which was empty, by inferring the rule and then use the rule to win the treat. However it was proved that children had difficulty in inferring the rule that enabled them to pass the task, whereas they had little difficulty in using the rule.
