2岁和3岁的儿童（N= 96）在对象选择任务中进行了测试，其中包括同龄人和成人伙伴的视频演示。一个沉浸式的，半互动的程序，使成人和同龄人的条件和参与者的选择行为与观看时间的措施相结合的密切匹配。儿童更有可能使用成人提供的信息。由于这种影响在较年轻的年龄组中更为明显，因此观察到的偏倚可能在幼儿期消失。由于没有差异，儿童的倾向，以遵循同龄人和成人的手势与他们的目光，这些研究结果提供了一些最早的证据，到目前为止，年幼的孩子考虑到对话者的年龄时，判断表面上沟通的证词。
Two‐ and 3‐year‐old children (N= 96) were tested in an object‐choice task with video presentations of peer and adult partners. An immersive, semi‐interactive procedure enabled both the close matching of adult and peer conditions and the combination of participants’ choice behavior with looking time measures. Children were more likely to use information provided by adults. As the effect was more pronounced in the younger age‐group, the observed bias may fade during toddlerhood. As there were no differences in children’s propensity to follow peer and adult gestures with their gaze, these findings provide some of the earliest evidence to date that young children take an interlocutor’s age into account when judging ostensively communicated testimony.
