We distinguished between three forms of sensitive/responsive parenting: mothers' responsiveness to infant distress, their responsiveness to the infant's nondistress cues, and maternal expression of positive affect and affection in nondistress. Although in prior work these parenting behaviors were frequently combined, or subsumed under a single global construct, such as “sensitive responsiveness”, the three forms of parenting are theoretically distinct. We hypothesized that once all three were examined simultaneously, only responsiveness to distress would emerge as a unique predictor of empathy. A sample of 165 Israeli infants (50% girls) was assessed from 3 to 18 months. Parenting measures were coded from mother–infant interactions at 3 and 6 months, and infants’ empathic concern was assessed using three distressed stimuli at ages 3, 6, 12, and 18 months. Path analysis models revealed that, consistent with the hypothesis, only responsiveness to distress uniquely predicted infants' subsequent empathic concern, over and above the other forms of parenting and preexisting empathy levels; conversely, being responsive or affectionate when infants were not distressed did not predict their empathic abilities. The findings underscore the importance of differentiating between theoretically distinct forms of parenting, even when they are correlated. The discussion addresses the role of responsiveness to infants’ distress in the early development of empathic capacity, and highlights avenues for future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/desc.13566","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142394327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moderator analyses revealed that age and communicative context were significant factors. Children were more informative in their communication when asked to teach compared to other, nonpedagogical prompts. This finding supports and extends natural pedagogy theory—young children not only interpret pedagogical information differently than information acquired through other means, but they are more selective in their informing when teaching. Additionally, we observed a key developmental progression at age 4. Four- to 7-year-olds, but not 2–3-year-olds, selectively shared information that was most helpful for a given learner. This coincides with the development of false-belief understanding, which undergoes significant development at around age 4. Taken together, the present synthesis suggests that young children actively engage in selective social learning from both sides, that of beneficiaries and benefactors of valuable information.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142394262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(&lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;) present a compelling new theory of rational information-seeking behaviour. The central premise of rational inattention is that optimal information-seeking behaviour may centre around learning to disengage from imprecise sources, that is, sources where information gain is expected to be low and imprecise. Thus, children with dyslexia may, over time, selectively disengage from further processing of text, which past experience has taught them provides minimal information gain. Neurotypical children who have experienced greater information gain from text sources, however, may persevere and attend to such sources proportionately in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rational inattention has critical bridges to previous rational accounts of curiosity, where the rational agent aims to maximise information gain by &lt;i&gt;attending&lt;/i&gt; to sources that maximally increase the usefulness of their knowledge (e.g., Dubey and Griffiths &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). These links to previous accounts of curiosity are worth considering in greater detail towards a unified account of information-seeking behaviour. In particular, in reconciling these accounts, one question worth pursuing is the relationship between rational attention—as characterised by rational accounts of curiosity—and rational inattention. Is rational attention the flip side of rational inattention or are different factors likely to impact the sources children choose to attend to in the search for information gain and the sources children disengage from over time. My suspicion is that at least a partial answer to this question may lie in paying closer attention (pun unintended) to two timescales of rational inattention, in particular, the real-time and the developmental timescale of rational inattention (cf. McMurray &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let us first consider the timescale of real-time processing in the proposed model. The model suggests that some reconstruction of the input is produced regardless of the precision of this reconstruction in the initial stages of processing (see Figure 1). Thus, even input that is later evaluated as imprecise is included in the early processing stages. The error between the input and the imprecise reconstruction is downweighted, retrospectively, based on the learner's experience with such stimuli (e.g., see Schütte, Mani, and Behne &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;, for evidence of such retrospective selective learning in young children). This is where rational inattention comes in. Indeed, the early reconstruction of all input is the reason why a clamped model—without such retrospective downweighting—shows improved learning from even imprecise input. Here, rational attention and rational inattention may be seen as flip sides of the same coin with the input being retrospectively weighted in essentially the same way to allow attent","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/desc.13571","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142394325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gender is a particularly interesting case to study because it is a strong dimension of social identity, but also one of the most prevalent forms of social hierarchy, with males conceptualised as superior to females, by adults and children alike. Here we directly asked how children's social preferences are influenced by status (winner or loser of a zero-sum conflict) and winner gender (female or male) in different scenarios (same or mixed-gender). In Experiment 1, children saw same-gender conflicts between two females or two males and they displayed an overall preference for winners. In Experiment 2, participants watched two mixed-gender conflicts, one where the female prevailed and one where the male prevailed. In this case, children chose the winner, but only when they had the same gender as themselves. Experiment 3 confirmed that children preferred own-gender individuals in the absence of conflict or status. Overall, children are sensitive to the relative status of other individuals and use this information to make social decisions. However, preschoolers do not prefer just any individual who wins access to a resource. They preferred dominant individuals, but only when they were of their own gender.

In turn, we each allocate resources strategically, favouring channels of input that minimise the epistemic uncertainty about that world. According to this view emergent differences in cognition need not be attributed to nebulous information processing ‘deficits’, but to the natural unfolding of &lt;i&gt;resource-rational behaviour&lt;/i&gt; over developmental time. In their formalisation of ‘Rational Inattention’, Jones, Jones, Koldewyn and Westerman, tie together many key developmental observations. Perhaps most crucially, they attempt to reconcile two seemingly disparate phenomena: exogenous sources of uncertainty can actively &lt;i&gt;attract&lt;/i&gt; our attention (e.g., Poli et al. &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;), whereas, endogenously driven uncertainty stemming from noise within the system, drives &lt;i&gt;disengagement&lt;/i&gt; from that source of input (e.g., Jones et al. &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The rational allocation of resources, within the context of input channels with differing levels of noise, is implemented within simulations. Artificial agents disengage from sources of input that they do not gain information from. This is formalised as a loss function, summing the losses derived from a four-path autoencoder. Crucially, imprecision (or noise) within one of those input paths makes it difficult to compress and subsequently decode information. This creates an information bottleneck (Tishby, Pereira, and Bialek &lt;span&gt;2000&lt;/span&gt;). Put simply the agent does not update its learnable parameters on the tasks it cannot solve. Instead, the global signal is better minimised by referencing the inputs that have greater endogenous informational precision.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rational Inattention is a theoretical framework centred on the dynamic interaction between the child and (potential) domains of information, and how the allocation of resources might shape future processing. We like many of its features. But in this short commentary we would like to focus on what this account does not &lt;i&gt;yet&lt;/i&gt; explain. Even if we side-step the obvious issue of what makes information differentially judged to be precise or not in the first place, how well does the authors’ characterisation of neurodevelopmental differences match reality?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the authors acknowledge, some radical simplification is necessary in order to get the simulations running, but there are meaningful differences between real neurodevelopmental phenotypes and the simulations.

Second, while areas of strength and difficulty do occur (e.g., Astle et al. &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;), they tend to be &lt;i&gt;relative&lt;/i&gt; areas of strength &lt;i&gt;within&lt;/i&gt; an individual, rather than absolute strengt","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/desc.13567","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142337170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
