Young children combine sensory cues with learned information in a statistically efficient manner: But task complexity matters

2019-09-19

Abstract excerpt

Human adults are adept at mitigating the influence of sensory uncertainty on task performance by integrating sensory cues with learned prior information, in a Bayes-optimal fashion. Previous research has shown that young children and infants are sensitive to environmental regularities, and that the ability to learn and use such regularities is involved in the development of several cognitive abilities. However, it...
