过去的研究表明，孩子们从以前准确的说话者那里学习，而不是从以前不准确的说话者那里学习。这项研究表明，孩子们不一定会把以前不准确的说话者视为不可靠的。相反，他们适当地原谅过去的不准确性所产生的发言者的有限的信息访问。儿童（N = 67）年龄为3，4，5岁，旨在确定一个隐藏的玩具与合作的木偶作为线人。当木偶之前不准确时，尽管有充分的信息，孩子们倾向于忽略他们被告知的东西，自己猜测：他们认为木偶在长期内是不可靠的。然而，孩子们更经常地相信一个目前消息灵通的木偶，其过去的不准确性是由于信息获取不足而合法产生的。
Past research demonstrates that children learn from a previously accurate speaker rather than from a previously inaccurate one. This study shows that children do not necessarily treat a previously inaccurate speaker as unreliable. Rather, they appropriately excuse past inaccuracy arising from the speaker's limited information access. Children (N = 67) aged 3, 4, and 5 years aimed to identify a hidden toy in collaboration with a puppet as informant. When the puppet had previously been inaccurate despite having full information, children tended to ignore what they were told and guess for themselves: They treated the puppet as unreliable in the longer term. However, children more frequently believed a currently well-informed puppet whose past inaccuracies arose legitimately from inadequate information access.
