Trusting the vigilant
Humans rely extensively on communicated information, yet communication exposes receivers to the risk of misinformation. To manage this risk, individuals must not only be vigilant against dishonest informants but also monitor others' vigilance towards deception, especially when information is transmitted across social chains. The present study investigates children's vigilance towards dishonesty ('first-order vigilance'), as well as their ability …
Children’s vigilance towards others’ gullibility
Humans are endowed with a suite of cognitive mechanisms that enable them to mitigate the risk of misinformation and underlie their epistemic vigilance. When direct access to the initial source of information is unavailable, individuals often rely on the vigilance of others to acquire beliefs. Moreover, monitoring the critical alertness of one’s interlocutors is essential for interpreting their communicative intentions, particularly in cases of de…
Expectations of Processing Ease, Informativeness, and Accuracy Guide Toddlers’ Processing of Novel Communicative Cues
Discovering the meaning of novel communicative cues is challenging and amounts to navigating an unbounded hypothesis space. Several theories posit that this problem can be simplified by relying on positive expectations about the cognitive utility of communicated information. These theories imply that learners should assume that novel communicative cues tend to have low processing costs and high cognitive benefits. We tested this hypothesis in thr…
How do we interpret questions? Simplified representations of knowledge guide humans' interpretation of information requests
Nonverbal rhetoric
This article investigates the early emergence of reason-giving. Toddlers are sensitive to disagreements, and they can track several kinds of informational access, such as visual perception. We investigated whether young children use these skills (a) when assessing whether providing reasons is needed and (b) when selecting appropriate behaviors to support their claims. An experimenter disagreed with 2- to 4-year-old children (N = 71) about the loc…
