Identifying unreliable informants: do children excuse past inaccuracy?
In three experiments (N = 123; 148; 28), children observed a video in which two speakers offered alternative labels for unfamiliar objects. In Experiment 1, 3- to 5-year-olds endorsed the label given by a speaker who had previously labeled familiar objects accurately, rather than that given by a speaker with a history of inaccurate labeling, even when the inaccurate speaker erred only while bli...
متن کاملChildren weigh the number of informants and perceptual uncertainty when identifying objects.
The aim of this study was to evaluate how 3- to 5-year-old children (N = 150) identify an object when they are confronted with conflicting evidence, notably when the available perceptual evidence is contradicted by the testimony of either a lone informant or a three-informant consensus. Results showed that (a) 5-year-olds were more likely than 3- or 4-year-olds to rely on the perceptual evidenc...

They supplied information to the robots and retained what the robots told them. Children also treated the robots as informants from whom they could seek information. Consistent with studies of children's earl...
متن کاملIdentifying Unreliable and Adversarial Workers in Crowdsourced Labeling Tasks
In this paper, we study the problem of aggregating noisy responses from crowd workers to infer the unknown true labels of binary tasks. Unlike most prior work which has examined this problem under the probabilistic worker paradigm, we consider a much broader class of adversarial workers with no specific assumptions on their labeling strategy. Our key contribution is the design of a computationa...
متن کاملHow Children Seek Out Information from Technological and Human Informants
Members of the current generation of young children have been exposed to technological informants, primarily consisting of devices that search the Internet for information, nearly since birth. However, little is known about how young children explore information using these digital sources. To address this issue, 30 preschool children generated questions about unfamiliar animals that were to be...
