From_Outcome_To_Process
Someone is rational in their thinking to the extent that they follow a rational procedure when determining what to believe. So whether someone is rational cannot be determined so much by whether they hold true or false beliefs (outcome-based rationality), but by how they arrived at these beliefs (procedure-based rationality). In this study, we want to answer the question to what extent 4-5-year-old children, 6-7-year-old children, 8-9-year-old children, and adults from China and the United States consider the procedure and the outcome in evaluating the rationality of an agent?
OI.Transover
Overimitation is hypothesized to drive cumulative culture by fostering the adoption and transmission of information within populations. This study tests this claim by assigning 5-year-old children (N = 64) to one of two study populations based on their tendency to overimitate (overimitators/OIs vs. non-overimitators/non-OIs). Children were presented with conventional information in the form of novel games. Both study populations showed little variation in their persistence to adopt and transmit elements of these games. However, OIs were more likely to use generic language than non-OIs when transmitting game information to their peers. Further, non-OIs altered the game rules more frequently, suggesting differences in children’s tendency to innovate between study populations. These findings indicate subtle links between cumulative culture and children’s overimitation.

Here we want to share code to process eye-tracking data.
OI.EYE.1
Over-imitation – copying perceivably causally irrelevant actions – is consistently observed in human children and adults. Depending on the type of irrelevant action, it is often debatable, however, whether irrelevant actions are identified as such in over-imitation tasks, especially by children. Using a paired preference eye-tracking paradigm, this study investigated whether irrelevant actions with no contact to a target object (noncontact actions) are easier to identify as being irrelevant than actions involving physical contact with the target object (pseudo-instrumental actions) by four-year-olds (N=24) and adults (N=22). Looking time preferences revealed that children and adults distinguish both types of irrelevant actions from relevant actions, but more easily identify noncontact action as being irrelevant than pseudo-instrumental actions.
