Honestly I am not sure that I believe this. 100% of kids play "pretend" games, they pretend they are soldiers or pirates and run around whacking each other. When you grow up you don't lose your ability to understand pretend.
Maybe the IQ test was just a bad choice of wording, maybe they should have said
"Pretend you didn't eat breakfast or lunch" instead of more complex grammar like "would have not."
