Abstract
Understanding how people solve pure coordination games is challenging. Twenty-five 5-year-olds, 30 7-year-olds, and 25 adults played coordination games where they sought to give the same “obvious” answer as others, without conferring. All groups performed above-chance adults showed higher performance; and children and adults sometimes coordinated on different “obvious answers”.
