Event Details

Lancaster Psychology Research Showcase. Join us for a series of interactive live talks from experts in the Department of Psychology at Lancaster University, accessible and open to everyone.

This talk is about the origins of active social learning through seeking knowledge from other people. I will highlight developmental psychology studies showing that even before being able to ask questions, when uncertain about something and not able to find out for themselves, infants actively communicate with people who are more knowledgeable to gain information from them. This remarkable early ability to actively shape their own learning makes infants apt participants in social information exchange.
