The project investigates young children’s efficiency in searching for information 
By age three, children can already recognize the statistical features of their learning environment and adapt their learning strategies accordingly. However, it remains unclear whether young children can generate (cf. merely identify) efficient adaptive information-search strategies from scratch. In the current study, we tested the emergence of children’s ability to generate adaptive information-search actions and explored the potential sources of their suboptimality.

Call for Bachelor's Thesis: MonsterChef

MonsterChef explores the emergence and developmental trajectory of children's understanding of when they should engage in self-guided learning in a task and when they should seek the help of a teacher. The experiment seeks to elucidate the cues and strategies children use at different developmental stages to determine how to pursue their learning goals.

Call for Bachelor's / Master's Thesis: Flex

Many studies have shown that children consider the characteristics of agents when deciding whom to be partners with or whom to learn from. However, it remains unclear whether children are choosing their partners flexibly based on the characteristics of the environment. This project aims to explore whether children are using agent characteristics of potential partners based on the differences in the environment.
