Accent bias in mindreading
Mindreading is integral to navigating social interactions, especially when they involve people from diverse cultural backgrounds who may have different ways of thinking, knowledge, and beliefs. The present study aimed to explore how accent as a social group membership cue impacts our perspective-taking abilities. To do this, 566 participants took part in the Strange Stories task wherein they listened to stories told by either native- or foreign-a…
A Review and Critique of Studies Examining Empathy in Infants
We review studies examining empathy (empathic concern) in infants and children. The traditional claim is that empathy developed over the second year of life such that by 18–24 months, children were often showing signs of empathy and that empathy is enabled by children’s developing sense of self. However, over the past 25 years, researchers have often concluded that infants under 1 year of age are empathic and that signs of self-understanding are …
Is Your Accent Right for the Job? A Meta-Analysis on Accent Bias in Hiring Decisions
Standard-accented job candidates are perceived as more hireable than non-standard-accented candidates. Two broad perspectives have emerged as to what drives this effect: (a) that it is a pragmatic response to the perception that non-standard accents can impede job-relevant communication (processing fluency explanation) and/or (b) that non-standard accents signal “otherness” and candidates are devalued as a result (prejudice explanation). This met…
Children's judgments on the acceptability of prejudice
By middle childhood, children become aware that discriminatory behavior is unacceptable; however, the development of their anti-prejudice sentiments is largely unknown. Across two studies, 333 Australian 5- to 10-year-olds (51% female, majority White) were asked how acceptable they thought it was to have prejudicial sentiments toward 25 different targets. Children responded privately through a novel digital paradigm designed to minimize social-de…
A meta-analytic review on the social–emotional intelligence correlates of the six bullying roles
Lying and Theory of Mind
This meta-analysis investigated the link between lying and theory-of-mind (ToM) by integrating findings from 81 studies involving 7,826 children between 2 and 14 years of age from 14 different collectivist and individualist cultures. Overall, there was a small, significant positive association (r = .23). Four main moderators were examined: facet of lying (understanding, instigated production, spontaneous production, maintenance); valence of lies …
Something About the Way You Speak
There is growing interest in the role of linguistic cues (accents, dialects, language) in driving children’s social preferences. This meta-analysis integrated 131 effect sizes involving 2,680 infants and children from 2 days old to 11 years. Overall, children prefer native-accent, native-dialect, and native-language speakers over non-native counterparts (d = 0.57). Meta-regression highlighted that bilinguals (d = 0.93) do not exhibit less native-…
The digital social partner
We report on a study in which 4- to 6-year-olds were presented with a sticker-retrieval task and asked to choose between one of two tools they could use to complete it. One of the tools was efficient but verbally identified to be the one that “nobody” uses; the other option was less efficient, but children were told it was the tool that “everybody” uses. Children learned about the level of efficiency and normative-use of each tool option through …
Behavioral Investments in the Short Term Fail to Produce a Sunk Cost Effect
A cognitive bias known as the sunk cost effect has been found across a number of contexts. This bias drives the continued investment of time, effort, or money into an endeavor on the basis of prior investments into it. In Studies 1 and 2, we attempted to observe whether this effect occurs for short-term behavioral investments. In both studies, a reverse, or no sunk cost effect was found. In Study 3, we attempted to find an effect using hypothetic…
Which button will I press? Preference for correctly ordered counting sequences in 18-month-olds
Correct counting respects the stable order principle whereby the count terms are recited in a fixed order every time. The 4 experiments reported here tested whether precounting infants recognize and prefer correct stable-ordered counting. The authors introduced a novel preference paradigm in which infants could freely press two buttons to activate videos of counting events. In the "correct" counting video, number words were always recited in the …
Children’s learning and memory of an interactive science lesson
Children often learn information in a context that is vastly different to the one in which they are asked to recall or use that information. Despite this, little is known about the effect of context change on children's recall of educational information. Here, 197 5- and 6-year-olds were taught the same interactive lesson in their classroom or on a field trip and were tested after a 1- to 2-day and 6-month delay. The effect of learning context wa…
Theory of mind and prosocial behavior in childhood
It has been argued that children who possess an advanced theory of mind (ToM) are more likely to act prosocially, yet the empirical findings are mixed. To address this issue definitively, a meta-analytic integration of all prior literature that met appropriate inclusion criteria was conducted. In total, 76 studies including 6,432 children between 2 and 12 years of age contributed to these analyses. Collapsed across all studies, a significant asso…

Memory Development During Infancy and Early Childhood across Cultures
Meta-Analysis of Theory of Mind and Peer Popularity in the Preschool and Early School Years
It has been argued that children who possess an advanced theory of mind (ToM) are viewed positively by their peers, but the empirical findings are mixed. This meta-analysis of 20 studies including 2,096 children (aged from 2 years, 8 months to 10 years) revealed a significant overall association (r = .19) indicating that children with higher ToM scores were also more popular in their peer group. The effect did not vary with age. The effect was we…
The effect of verbal reminders on memory reactivation in 2-, 3-, and 4-year-old children
For adults, verbal reminders provide a powerful key to unlock our memories. For example, a simple question, such as "Do you remember your wedding day?" can reactivate rich memories of the past, allowing us to recall experiences that may have occurred days, weeks, and even decades earlier. The ability to use another person's language to access our memory of a prior experience is considered to be one of the hallmarks in human memory development, bu…
