How do young children decide to trust testimony that contradicts their initial beliefs? The current study examined whether children rely on cues to informant credibility (i.e., history of accuracy) to determine if they would endorse an unexpected label from an informant. Threeand 4-year-olds (N = 60) saw a picture of a hybrid artifact that consisted of features of two typical familiar artifacts...

Transport layer and application layer of network stack use end-to-end adaptation protocols (e.g., TCP and bitrate-adaptive video) to achieve high performance by continuously adapting endpoint behavior to changes of network conditions. The traditional belief is that these protocols must be run independently by endpoints to achieve desirable performance. In essence, they use reactive logic trigge...

A test was designed that apparently examined a student’s knowledge of assignment and sequence before a first course in programming but in fact was designed to capture their reasoning strategies. An experiment found two distinct populations of students: one could build and consistently apply a mental model of program execution; the other appeared either unable to build a model or to apply one co...

A growing body of work in game theory extends the traditional Stackelberg to settings with one leader and multiple followers who play a Nash equilibrium. Standard approaches for computing equilibria these games reformulate followers' best response as constraints leader's optimization problem. These reformulation can sometimes be effective, but make limiting assumptions on objectives equilibrium...
