    "title": "Children’s Trust in Technological and Human Informants",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Children understand early in development that different\npeople know different things, and they are adept at using\nthis information to select appropriate sources of\ninformation (Lutz & Keil, 2002). However, in the current\ndigital age, information may be gathered from both\nhumans and technological sources that select and present\ninformation as humans do. Using methods designed to\nstudy epistemic trust in human informants (e.g., Koenig,\nClement, & Harris, 2004), the current study investigates\nchildren’s and adults’ selective trust in a technological\nand human informant. Children (ages 4 and 5) and adults\nwere presented with queries designed to probe their\nwillingness to seek out and accept information from\nhuman versus technological informants. The results\ndemonstrate that 4-year-olds prefer to seek information\nfrom a human informant, but by age 5, children show an\nincreasing preference for the technological informant.\nThe relationship between children’s trust and their\nexperience with technology is also discussed.",
