Title: Inferential economics: Children's sensitivity to the cost and value of action and information
Date: Wednesday, 11 May 2016
Time: 17:00-18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101
Abstract:
Across a series of studies, I will show that very young children evaluate their own competence and that of informants in learning and exploring. I will also discuss the ways in which the costs of information are themselves informative, giving children insight into others’ mental states.
