    "abstract": "To learn from others, children rely on cues (e.g., familiarity) toinfer who will provide useful information. We extend thisresearch to ask whether children will use an informant’sinclination to gesture as a marker of whether they are a goodperson to learn from. Children (N=459, ages 4-12 years)watched videos in which actresses made statementsaccompanied by meaningful iconic gestures, beat gestures, orno gestures. After each trial, children were asked “Who do youthink would be a good teacher?” (good teacher- experimentalcondition) or “Who do you think would be a good friend?”(good friend-control condition). Results show children dobelieve that someone who produces iconic gesture would makea good teacher over someone who does not, but this is only laterin childhood and only if a child has the propensity to seegesture as meaningful. The same effects were not found in thegood-friend condition.",
