My studies focus on investigating the role of social partners in the learning processes of young children, that is, how cognitive development is influenced by the way the environment conveys information to children. We are looking for answers to several questions. For example: how do young children acquire knowledge about the world through observing the behavior of others or direct teaching? Is the way children represent rules influenced by their belief about what they would need to use these rules for in the future? During language acquisition, what cues do they rely on to identify the meaning of words that are unfamiliar to them? We explore the different aspects of social learning by studying the abilities of children and other species to gain a complete picture of the origin and evolution of social information transfer.
