Front Psychol . 2021 Nov; 12:716662. PMID: 34721164
As part of their "essentialist" intuitions, young children tend to form for observed intergroup differences - attributing them to groups' intrinsic natures or inborn characteristics. Much research has linked this...

Child Dev . 2021 Feb; 92(2):682-690. PMID: 33521936
The current study experimentally investigated the impact of causal-explanatory information on weight bias over development. Participants (n = 395, children ages 4-11 years and adults) received either a biological or...

Curr Dev Nutr . 2018 Apr; 1(11). PMID: 29658962

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2017 Oct; 114(45):11896-11901. PMID: 29078315

Cogn Sci . 2016 Jun; 41(3):814-826. PMID: 27245931

Wu Y, Muentener P, Schulz L
Cogn Sci . 2015 Oct; 40(8):1854-1876. PMID: 26452530
Children posit unobserved causes when events appear to occur spontaneously (e.g., Gelman & Gottfried, 1996). What about when events appear to occur probabilistically? Here toddlers (M = 20.1 months) saw...

Front Psychol . 2015 Jan; 5:1496. PMID: 25566161
Previous research suggests that children infer the presence of unobserved causes when objects appear to move spontaneously. Are such inferences limited to motion events or do children assume that unexplained...

PLoS One . 2012 Aug; 7(8):e42495. PMID: 22916130
Adults recognize that if event A predicts event B, intervening on A might generate B. Research suggests that young children have difficulty making this inference unless the events are initiated...
