    "abstract": "Learners faced with competing statements that each have\nsupport from multiple sources must decide whom to trust.\nLacking firsthand knowledge, they frequently trust the\nmajority. Yet, majorities can be misleading if most members\nare relying on hearsay from just a few members with\nfirsthand knowledge. Thus, past work has emphasized the\nimportance of informational independence when deciding\nwhom to trust, showing that children and adults do consider\ninformational independence important in certain contexts.\nHowever, because informational independence precludes\ngroup deliberation, we ask whether children make the reverse\ninference and devalue informational independence when\nfacing a problem that could benefit from deliberation. In two\nstudies, children and adults ignore informational\nindependence when attempting to answer abstract reasoning\nquestions. However, for a question type for which\ndeliberative reasoning would be of doubtful benefit, children\nand adults seek advice from multiple independent sources\nrather than a deliberative group.",
