Preschoolers Monitor the Relative Accuracy of Informants
TL;DR: It is suggested that 3-year-olds mistrust informants who make a single error, whereas 4- year-olds track the relative frequency of errors when deciding whom to trust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Children's selective trust in native-accented speakers.
TL;DR: It is proposed that children orient towards members of their native community to guide their early cultural learning and demonstrate selective trust in native-accented speakers even when neither informant's speech relays meaningful semantic content, and the information that both informants provide is non-linguistic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Choosing your informant: weighing familiarity and recent accuracy.
TL;DR: By 4 years of age, children trust familiar informants but moderate that trust depending on the informants' recent history of accuracy or inaccuracy, particularly among 5-year-olds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Going With the Flow Preschoolers Prefer Nondissenters as Informants

Journal ArticleDOI
