Session Type: Paper Session
Children develop in environments in which they must learn to use an innumerable range of objects and functions while simultaneously acquiring the norms of their cultural in-group. As part of this process they must identify who are good sources of information and who are not. In this symposium four distinct papers present new data on a variety of characteristics that influence young children’s decisions which combine to provide novel insight that promises to move the field forward.
