{ "pk": 29567, "title": "How children learn non-obvious conceptual information from caregivers innaturalistic settings", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "A long-standing question in cognitive development asks how young children learn non-obvious conceptual information(i.e., information that is not directly perceptible). For artifacts, this non-obvious information includes the categories itemsfall into (Rhodes, Gelman & Karuza, 2014), and their functions (Matan & Carey, 2001). We investigated how childrenlearn non-obvious information about novel artifacts from their caregivers during naturalistic interactions in a living his-tory museum. Forty caregiver-child dyads (Ages: R=4;22-8;0,Mage=5.98 years) visited two exhibits for 8 minutes each(i.e., a heritage store and house). Using a series of GEEs and correlational analyses, we found caregivers used differentpedagogical techniques to teach their children about different artifact properties. Namely, they used causal (rs=.49,p¡.001)and procedural information (rs=.60,p¡.001) to describe an artifacts function, but used questions (rs=.79,p¡.001) and com-parisons (rs=.64,p¡.001) to discuss an artifacts identity. These patterns are compatible with the broader literature on howchildren learn non-obvious information best (Gelman, 2009).", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Poster Session 1", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0n68113n", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Elizabeth", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Attisano", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Waterloo", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Stephanie", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Denison", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Waterloo", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Shaylene", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Nancekivell", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of North Carolina at Greensboro", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2020-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29567/galley/19427/download/" } ] }
