Abstract：
Consensus has both social and epistemic value. Children conform to consensus judgments in ways that suggest they are sensitive to the social value of consensus. Here we report two experiments providing evidence that 4-year-old children also are sensitive to the epistemic value of consensus. When multiple informants gave the same judgment concerning the hidden contents of a container, based on the observation of one of their members, children\'s own judgments tended to align with the consensus judgment over the judgment of a lone character, whose observation received no endorsements. This tendency was reduced, however, when children were shown that the group consensus lacked epistemic warrant. Together, the findings provide evidence that young children are sensitive to the epistemic basis of consensus reports.
摘要：
共识具有社会价值和认识价值。儿童以表明他们对共识的社会价值敏感的方式符合共识判断。在这里，我们报告了两个实验，这些实验提供了4岁儿童对共识的认知价值也很敏感的证据。当多个线人对容器的隐藏内容给出相同的判断时，根据他们成员之一的观察，儿童自己的判断倾向于与对孤独人物的判断的共识判断相一致，他的观察没有得到认可。这种趋势减少了，然而,当儿童被证明团体共识缺乏认知认股权证时。一起,研究结果提供了证据，表明幼儿对共识报告的认知基础很敏感。
