Do preschoolers think adults know more about everything than children? Or do they recognize that there are some things that children might know more about than adults? Three-, four-, and five-year-olds (N = 65) were asked to decide whether an adult or child informant would better be able to answer a variety of questions about the nutritional value of foods and about toys. Children at all ages chose to direct the food questions to the adult and the toy questions to the child. Thus, there are some kinds of information for which preschoolers expect that a child would be a better informant than an adult.
学龄前儿童认为成年人在所有事情上都比孩子懂得多吗？还是他们认识到有些事情孩子可能比成年人知道得更多？研究人员询问了65名3岁、4岁和5岁的儿童，让他们决定成人或儿童信息提供者谁能更好地回答各种关于食物营养价值和玩具的问题。所有年龄段的孩子都选择将关于食物的问题指向成年人，而将关于玩具的问题指向孩子。因此，对于某些类型的信息，学龄前儿童认为孩子会比成年人更适合作为信息提供者。
