Q24605

Interestingly, there was a study made by Diane Poulin-Dubois concerning infants. It is, as worded in in an article from a website about science and studies, "Infants of just 14 months already have a nonsense-detector that alerts them to unreliable people". (If you're daft) There's no secret that children learn from adults, and her study across 60 infants had two stages that signaled this discovery. The article details that the sooner stages involves a researcher delighting in a toy in a container, then passing it to the infant to inspect. However, in one group the infants were given the toy reliably, while in another group the adult expressed delight but there was in fact no toy involved. (If you're daft) The idea probably relies on the same kind of learning as would be shown in the violation-of-expectations method, in which an educational psychology book explains as an infant learning to expect an object to move in one way, only for the object to move in another: (Psychology, pg. 113) The infants learn to expect one thing much like the movement of the object, but in this case, it's instead that a toy would be presented, in which for both cases the expectations are defied. The second stage involved this adult using a touch-on light to teach the child the idea of 'object concept' concerning the light, as again mentioned in the psychology book to be about infants understanding how objects behave. (Psychology, pg. 113) After repeatedly switching it on, she passes the light to the infant to try to have the infant act out in what the educational text refers to as 'deferred imitation'. (Psychology, pg. 111) The article reveals that the results are that when the researcher was testing as an unreliable researcher, 34% of the infants tried turning it on like her. The results of the reliable group were that 61% of the infants would do it. (If you're daft)
