This research examined whether 10‐month‐old infants expect agents to perform equal distribution of resources. In Experiment 1, saw a distributor performing either an where one strawberry was given each two recipients, or unequal that favored the recipients. Infants looked longer at test event, suggesting they expected strawberries be distributed equally. 2, potential recipients were replaced with inanimate objects rule out lower‐level alternative explanation results in 1 based on symmetric...
Much of our basic understanding cognitive and social processes in infancy relies on measures looking time, specifically infants’ visual preference for a novel or familiar stimulus. However, despite being the foundation many behavioral tasks infant research, determinants preferences are poorly understood, differences expression can be difficult to interpret. In this large-scale study, we test predictions from Hunter Ames model infants' preferences. We investigate effects three factors...
This investigation examined whether access to sign language as a medium for instruction influences theory of mind (ToM) reasoning in deaf children with similar home environments. Experiment 1 involved 97 Italian ages 4-12 years: 56 were from families and had LIS (Italian Sign Language) their native language, 41 acquired late signers following contact outside hearing families. Children receiving bimodal/bilingual together Sign-Supported spoken significantly outperformed oralist schools which...
Abstract Based on anticipatory looking and reactions to violations of expected events, infants have been credited with ‘theory mind’ (ToM) knowledge that a person’s search behaviour for an object will be guided by true or false beliefs about the object’s location. However, little is known preconditions patterns consistent belief attribution in infants. In this study, we compared performance 17‐ 26‐month‐olds ToM tasks. The were either hearing deaf from families thus delayed communicative...
Three experiments provide evidence of an incipient sense fairness in preverbal infants. Ten-month-old infants were shown cartoon videos with two agents, the 'donors', who distributed resources to identical recipients. One donor always goods equally, while other performed unequal distributions by giving everything one recipient. In test phase, a third agent hit or took away from either fair unfair donor. We found that looked longer when antisocial actions directed towards rather than These...
Measuring eye movements remotely via the participant's webcam promises to be an attractive methodological addition in-person eye-tracking in lab. However, there is a lack of systematic research comparing remote web-based with in-lab young children. We report multi-lab study that compared these two measures anticipatory looking task toddlers using WebGazer.js and jsPsych. Results our tested sample 18-27-month-old (N = 125) revealed successfully captured goal-based action predictions, although...
East Asians are more likely than North Americans to attend visual scenes holistically, focusing on the relations between objects and their background rather isolating components. This cultural difference in context sensitivity-greater attentional allocation of an image or scene-has been attributed socialization, yet it is unknown how early development appears, whether moderated by social information. We employed eye-tracking investigate context-sensitivity 15-month-olds Japan (n = 45) United...
We investigated whether and how infants link the domains of harm, help fairness. Fourteen-month-old were familiarized with a character that either helped or hindered another agent's attempts to reach top hill. Then, in test phase they saw helper hinderer carrying out an equal unequal distribution towards two identical recipients. Infants who performing looked longer than those distribution, whereas equally long distribution. These results suggest linked hindering actions diminished...
Recent experimental studies suggest that preverbal infants are able to evaluate agents on the basis of their distributive actions. Here we asked whether such evaluations based infants' understanding distributor's intentions, or only outcome Ten-month-old observed animated movies unequal resource allocations by distributors who attempted but failed distribute resources equally unequally between two agents. We found attended longer test event showing a third agent approaching distributor was...
Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate role executive functions (EF) in theory-of-mind (ToM) performance deaf children and adolescents. Four groups aged 7–16 years, with different language backgrounds at home school, that is, bilingually instructed native signers, oralist-instructed two late signers from Sweden Estonia, respectively, were given eight ToM four EF measures. performed a significantly higher level on measures than other children. On measures, there no...

Abstract Research using non-verbal looking-time methods suggests that pre-verbal infants are able to detect inequality in third party resource allocations. However, nothing is known about the emergence of this capacity outside a very narrow Western context. We compared 12- 20-month-old ( N = 54) from one and two non-Western societies. Swedish confirmed pattern previous samples by looking longer at unequal distribution, suggesting they expected resources be distributed equally. Samburu looked...
Being connected to other people at the level of inner and unobservable mental states is one most essential aspects a meaningful life, including psychological well-being successful cooperation. The foundation for this kind connectedness our theory mind (ToM), that ability understand own others' experiences in terms such as beliefs desires. But how do we develop ability? Forty-six 17- 107-months-old children completed non-verbal eye-tracker false-belief task. There were 9 signing deaf from...
Children with cochlear implants (CIs) demonstrate proficiency in verbal-story elicited-response ( VS -ER) false-belief tasks, such as the Sally & Ann task, at a similar age typically developing hearing children. However, they face challenges non-verbal spontaneous-response (NV-SR) measured via looking times, which infants pass by around 2 years of age, or earlier. The purpose present study was to examine whether these difficulties remain non-verbal-story (NVS-ER) children are offered...
