Anticipating disagreement enhances source memory in English- and Turkish-speaking preschool children
Metacognitive abilities like source memory are useful for justifying our beliefs to others. Do they arise because of this need? Here, we test whether circumstances that require source reporting enhance source memory. We test this in circumstances in which children anticipate a disagreement and when children speak a language with obligatory linguistic evidential marking of source (Turkish). We asked 160 English- and Turkish-speaking 3- and 4-year-…
Mini managers
Strategic collaboration according to the law of comparative advantage involves dividing tasks based on the relative capabilities of group members. Three experiments (N = 405, primarily White and Asian, 45% female, collected 2016–2019 in Canada) examined how this strategy develops in children when dividing cognitive labor. Children divided questions about numbers between two partners. By 7 years, children allocated difficult questions to the skill…
The malleable impact of non-numeric features in visual number perception
Non-numeric stimulus features frequently influence observers' number judgments: when judging the number of items in a display, we will often (mis)perceive the set with a larger cumulative surface area as more numerous. These "congruency effects" are often used as evidence for how vision extracts numeric information and have been invoked in arguments surrounding whether non-numeric cues (e.g., cumulative area, density, etc.) are combined for numbe…
Children flexibly compare their confidence within and across perceptual domains
How does a person make decisions across perceptual boundaries? Here, we test the account that confidence constitutes a common currency for perceptual decisions even in childhood by examining whether confidence can be compared across distinct perceptual dimensions. We conducted a strict test of domain-generality in confidence reasoning by asking 6- to 7-year-olds to compare their confidence in 2 decisions, either from the same perceptual dimension…
