"Children learn a great deal from other people, including history, science and religion,
as well as language itself. Although our informants are usually well-intentioned,
they can be wrong, and sometimes people deceive deliberately. As soon as children
can learn from what others tell them, they need to be able to evaluate the likely
truth of such testimony. This book is the first of its kind to provide an overview
of the field of testimony research, summarizing and discussing the latest findings
into how children make such evaluations - when do they trust what people tell them,
and when are they skeptical? The nine chapters are organized according to the extent
to which testimony is necessary for children to learn the matter in question - from
cases where children are entirely dependent on the testimony of others, to cases where
testimony is merely a convenient way of learning. Chapters also consider situations
where reliance on testimony can lead a child astray, and the need for children to
learn to be vigilant to deception, to ask questions appropriately, and to evaluate
what they are told. With an international range of contributors, and two concluding
commentaries which integrate the findings within a broader perspective of research
on child development, the book provides a thorough overview of this emerging sub-field.
Trust and Scepticism will be essential reading for researchers, academic teachers
and advanced students working in the areas of cognitive development and language development,
and will also be of great interest to educationists concerned with nursery and primary
education"
