    "title": "Do infants compare ratios or use simpler heuristics in probabilistic inference?",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Empirical evidence suggests infants can make inferences about uncertain future events using probabilistic data\n(Denison & Xu, 2010; Teglas et al., 2007). However, it is unclear if infants are using information about proportions to make\nthese decisions. Infants were presented with population jars that contained large distributions of objects, and were tasked with\ndeciding which of the two jars was more likely to yield a desirable object on a single draw. In Experiment 1, most infants chose\nthe jar that contained only preferred objects over a jar that contained a 3:1 ratio of preferred objects. Most infants also made\nthe correct choice when presented with the reverse ratios (choosing a 1:3 over a 0:1 ratio). In Experiment 2, infants correctly\nchose the jar that contained a 4:1 ratio of preferred objects over a jar that contained a 1.5:1 ratio. However, infants performed\nat chance when presented with the reverse ratios.",
