Article Synopsis
- Young kids learn from others and use clues to decide who to trust, relying on familiarity at first but shifting to think about how smart the person is as they get older.
- The study looked into how kids figure out who to learn from and considered two thinking skills: metacognition (thinking about what you know) and theory of mind (thinking about what others are thinking).
- The results showed that young kids' ability to pick good informants is more linked to theory of mind than to metacognition, suggesting that understanding others' thoughts is really important for them to learn well.
