人类学习者很少是有价值的社会信息的被动接受者。相反，学习者通常必须主动从各种潜在的其他人那里寻找信息，以确定谁能够提供有用的信息。然而，大多数发展性社会学习范式并没有解决参与者为自己寻找信息的能力。为了调查儿童寻找适当社会信息的能力随年龄的变化，我们向 3 至 8 岁的儿童（N = 218）提出了一项任务，要求他们确定四个可能的示威者中哪一个可以提供解锁盒子的关键信息。随着年龄的增长，适当的信息寻求能力显着提高。 7 岁和 8 岁儿童的特别高表现与年龄较大的儿童元认知理解的增强将使他们能够识别适当的信息源的预期一致。适当的社会信息寻求可能被忽视，因为这是一项重大的认知挑战，涉及充分受益于他人的知识，可能影响对累积文化的系统发育分布的理解。
Human learners are rarely the passive recipients of valuable social information. Rather, learners usually have to actively seek out information from a variety of potential others to determine who is in a position to provide useful information. Yet, the majority of developmental social learning paradigms do not address participants’ ability to seek out information for themselves. To investigate age-related changes in children’s ability to seek out appropriate social information, 3- to 8-year-olds (N = 218) were presented with a task requiring them to identify which of four possible demonstrators could provide critical information for unlocking a box. Appropriate information seeking improved significantly with age. The particularly high performance of 7- and 8-year-olds was consistent with the expectation that older children’s increased metacognitive understanding would allow them to identify appropriate information sources. Appropriate social information seeking may have been overlooked as a significant cognitive challenge involved in fully benefiting from others’ knowledge, potentially influencing understanding of the phylogenetic distribution of cumulative culture.
