Children With More Uncertainty in Their Intuitive Theories Seek Domain-Relevant Information
研究发现，直觉理论处于不成熟阶段的儿童更倾向于寻求信息以解决相关领域的不确定性，而知识更成熟的儿童则不然，这揭示了学习偏好与直觉理论发展阶段的关系。
= 100) uncertain outcomes for events and let them choose which event to resolve. We found that children whose intuitive theories were at immature stages were more likely to seek information to resolve uncertainty about an outcome in the related domains, but children with more mature knowledge were not. This result was replicated in a second experiment but with the nuance that children at intermediate stages of belief development-when the causal outcome would be most ambiguous-were the most motivated to resolve the uncertainty. This effect was not driven by general uncertainty at the framework level but, rather, by the impact that framework knowledge has in accessing uncertainty at the model level. These results are the first to show the relationship between a learning preference and the developmental stage of a child's intuitive theory.
