先前的研究表明，孩子们可以选择和评估信息的基础上，以前的准确性的线人。本研究考察了中国5至6岁的小学生（N= 46）和7至8岁的二年级学生（N= 48）如何判断互联网或教师提供的科学信息，以及来源的不准确历史如何影响参与者的判断。当缺乏关于先前准确性的明确信息时，年幼的孩子和年长的孩子都没有表现出对互联网或老师的不同信任。在观察到互联网提供不准确的信息后，两个年龄组的儿童都降低了对互联网声明的信任。当老师总是不准确时，两个年龄组的孩子也表现出对老师陈述的偏好降低。这些研究结果表明，5至8岁的儿童在决定是否从互联网或老师那里请求或认可信息时会考虑到不准确的历史。
Prior studies have shown that children can select and evaluate information based on the previous accuracy of an informant. The current study examines how 5‐ to 6‐year‐old kindergarteners (N= 46) and 7‐ to 8‐year‐old second‐graders (N= 48) in China judge scientific information provided by the internet or a teacher, and how a source's history of inaccuracy influences participants’ judgments. When lacking explicit information about previous accuracy, neither younger children nor older children showed differential trust in the internet or a teacher. After observing the internet providing inaccurate information, children in both age groups decreased their trust in statements from the internet. When the teacher was consistently inaccurate, children in both age groups also showed reduced preference for the teacher's statements. These findings demonstrate that 5‐ to 8‐year‐old children take into account history of inaccuracy when deciding whether to request or endorse information from the internet or a teacher.
