<br>
The Ins(ides) & Out(sides) of Infants' Representations of
Others <br>
<br>
<br>
Two cognitive biases exert an especially powerful influence on
adults' social reasoning. On the one hand, adults automatically
judge the personalities and dispositions of other people based
upon their outward appearance, especially from facial
characteristics. On the other hand, adults' causal explantations
about others' behavior is fundamentally biased towards internal
properties and features that lie beneath the surface. What are the
developmental origins of these powerful social reasoning biases?
My talk will examine whether infants in the first year of life
possess rudimentary forms of both types of heuristics.<br>
