    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Although we possess intuitions about pedagogy from early in\nlife, adults commonly fail to teach effectively in real-world\nsituations. Why might adults struggle in more complex\nteaching tasks? Here we develop a simple teaching task where\nadults fail to teach naïve learners, despite reporting high\nconfidence that they taught effectively. Using a formal model\nof a rational teacher, we analyze the sources of our adult\nteachers’ failures. Our model-based analyses reveal that\nteachers successfully provided high-quality examples, but\nfailed to address hypotheses that naïve learners find plausible.\nWe validate these results in a second experiment, where we\nfind that constraining learners’ hypothesis space increases\ntheir performance in the task. Our findings help bridge the\ngap between children’s teaching proficiency in constrained\ntasks, and adults’ teaching failures in more naturalistic tasks.",
