<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Selective social learning allows human adults to filter out less useful aspects of available information, enabling them to actively seek and effectively use that which is most relevant. Human adults may therefore demonstrate key differences
in the way that they attend to and use social information compared to children and non-humans. However, the majority of developmental social learning paradigms examine children’s responses to information specifically provided for use in a particular task,
but do not address children’s ability to seek out the information for themselves. I will discuss a recent study that aimed to address this gap in our understanding regarding age-related changes in children’s ability to seek out as well as use appropriate social
information.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
