体验不确定性的能力（即，不确定性监控）是一种重要的技能，它使我们能够通过在感到不确定时谨慎行事或寻求额外的信息，以及通过在感到确定时表达我们的知识（即，不确定性控制）。研究表明，即使是年幼的学龄前儿童也可以对不确定性进行反思，并根据这些反思采取适当的行动。我们的结论是，不确定性监测和控制可以在学龄前认知发展的驱动力。在这篇文章中，我们回顾了关于这一主题的新兴文献，突出了开放的问题，并与其他研究领域建立了联系。
The ability to experience uncertainty (i.e., uncertainty monitoring) is an important skill that enables us to optimize our performance by acting cautiously or seeking additional information when we feel uncertain, and by expressing our knowledge when we feel certain (i.e., uncertainty control). Research reveals that even young preschoolers can introspect on uncertainty and act appropriately based on these introspections. We conclude that uncertainty monitoring and control can be driving forces of cognitive development during the preschool years. In this article, we review the emerging literature on this topic, highlight open questions, and draw connections with other research domains.
