Abstract

This study investigates how residential mobility and group membership predict children’s testimonial learning. Eighty-eight children (ages 8–10) will complete tasks assessing trust in ingroup versus outgroup testimony. Mobility and group membership are expected to differentially predict learning, depending on whether the information is novel or contradicts children’s intuitive beliefs.
