摘要: Explaining inconsistency may serve as an important mechanism for driving the process of causal learning. But how might this generate amended beliefs? One way that explaining promote discovery is by guiding exploratory, hypothesis-testing behavior. In order to investigate this, a study with young children ranging in age from 2 6 years (N = 80) examined relation between explanation and exploratory behavior following consistent versus inconsistent outcomes. Results indicated outcomes only, kind provided informed they engaged extent which modified generated new hypotheses. sum, data provide insight into evidence guides cognition.
