Self-perceived creativity and curiosity in middle childhood
Creativity and curiosity are highly regarded yet notoriously hard to capture. Despite the growing interest, there is a lack of understanding of children's perceptions of creativity in their daily activities and studies addressing the two constructs and the links between them are scarce and methodologically varied. British children aged 10-11 (N = 163) were asked an open-ended question about the contents of their creative pursuits, followed by sel…
Curious Choices
Infants explore the world around them based on their intrinsically motivated curiosity. However, the cognitive mechanisms underlying such curiosity-driven exploratory behaviour remain largely unknown. Here, infants could freely explore two novel categories, triggering a new exemplar from a category by fixating on either of the two associated areas on a computer screen. This gaze-contingent design enabled us to distinguish between exploration – sw…
The Infant and Toddler Curiosity Questionnaire
Humans are curious. Especially children are known for their drive to explore and learn, which is crucial for developing in and navigating through our complex world. Naturally, some children may be more curious than others, leading to differences in how they structure their own learning experiences, subsequently impacting their developmental trajectories. However, there is a gap in the research field for a reliable measure of such differences earl…
A unified approach to demographic data collection for research with young children across diverse cultures
Culture is a key determinant of children's development both in its own right and as a measure of generalizability of developmental phenomena. Studying the role of culture in development requires information about participants' demographic backgrounds. However, both reporting and treatment of demographic data are limited and inconsistent in child development research. A barrier to reporting demographic data in a consistent fashion is that no stand…
Challenges and promises of big team comparative cognition
Preschoolers in Belarus and Turkey accept an adult’s counterintuitive claim and do not spontaneously seek evidence to test that claim
When presented with a claim that contradicts their intuitions, do children seize opportunities to empirically verify such claims or do they simply acquiesce to what they have been told? To answer this question, we conducted a replication of Ronfard et al. (conducted in the People’s Republic of China) in two countries with distinct religious and political histories (Study 1: Belarus, N = 74; Study 2: Turkey, N = 79). Preschool children were presen…
