Many parents know this scenario: TOMER ULLMANParents and cognitive scientists at the University of Harvard, his five-year young man told them to put a tablet. But instead of carrying it completely, Ullman actually wanted – the child put the device on a table and continued to watch the videos about it. Ullman Remember Being angry but intrigued behaviors.
He and his scientists in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, some of which shared similar parents experiences, were inspired to investigate children Language exploitation “Loofoles”-Inctors require technically adults, but they completely violate the actual intention of demand. Sometimes these common alternative interpretations are incorrect; At other times, they are honest misunderstanding. But the research shows that young children seem to use orders to avoid orders as real ways. New study, published Child development, It suggests to see the behavior of the bending rules so clearly that a child has begun to understand the language better and better understand other people.
Cognitive scientist and co-lead study Sophie Bridgers can previously examined To help others decide how children decide, a key element for social interactions. But cooperation is not always black and white, especially when children and adults have conflicting goals. “This gray area between the two is,” says Bridgers, when he did a new study, was a doctoral researcher in MIT and is a researcher on Google Deepmind. “Sometimes you don’t want to cooperate, but it could be dangerous to refuse. We started to be curious about strategies used to manage this tension.” Listening to Ullman’s anecdotes is the main author of the new study, and other parents investigate Bridgers can be a strategy that LED can be such a strategy.

Bridgers and his colleagues surveyed 260 parents surveyed to achieve the feeling of being a wide behavior for their children. Many parents, for example, were made belts, for children to put their hands in hand to hand them hands instead of their parents, and only a child said to go outside instead of taking a dog. The university university of furnaces reported by parents shows that behavior can be generalized to real-world situations. The parent survey led to many follow-up studies, the first assessed a separate set of 108 children aged four to nine, which are usually complex or non-complex behavior or the middle ground between two. Researchers read a story for children and judging how many problems they had, when they used your mind. The additional follow-up study examined another group of 140 children aged five and nine to determine the ability to create a kiln for a specific scenario.
The Multianalisi report revealed that the four-year-olds cannot distinguish the participants who thought the non-recipients would gain the same number of problems in the story or completely rejected a parental request. But participants between the five and eight years were seen as a way of extracting gaps almost technically; They understood what the parent asked and how the child used the gap to take advantage of the absence of the uniqueness of the command. This age group as a way to enter “fewer problems” than the gap has seen. The age range is also when parents see their children gradually, Bridger says.
“Children eat, play, homework, homework, bedtime, personal hygiene is the social standing rules.” Bridgers says. “All these limitations are being tested.”
Researchers found that children came reliably thanks to eight age, their skill is between five years and seven years. Understanding the meaning behind the word and an alternative to an endangered or Multiple meanings in a sentence Language skills are among children between five and seven years to strengthen Bridgers. These skills also allow children to use gaps, understand more complex speech figures transformationMetaphor and sarcasm.
Being able to infer to be involved in meaning and context Indirect requestsAs well as using metaphors and points, the “higher order” of language development is required, says Laura WagnerHe did not participate in the study by Professor of Development Psychology at Ohio University. According to Wagner, “that is, it has been tested that children actually seen children actually seen that it is really seen and double meaning (parents can say) rather than what these are social consequences,” he noted.
Wagner believes that the cognitive skills necessary to find wasps are similar to those used in lying Advanced Language Skill. “Under three or four years old are evil lies, because I really know what other people really know what really knows,” he explains.
Children get better, lying around the same age. Bridgers suggests that this can be the development of other cognitive skills developed in parallel early childhood. This creates Theory of mindKids really think of the other people’s own beliefs and representation of reality. In addition, children begin to use other people’s beliefs, objectives and perspectives to calculate the costs and benefits of their actions.
“Planning actions (children) not only purpose, but the potential goals will be potentially,” Bridgers says.
Parents may not appreciate having a good lying baby or constantly avoiding orders. But that shows that “many knowledge of language (and) are integrating social knowledge,” Wagner said. In addition, these activities are actions to solve creative problems.
“These are all the behaviors in our social instrument kit,” BRIDGERS says. “A lie is a way to walk around conflicting goals; partial fill is another way.”
It is not always so bad to behave like “small lawyers”, the Bridgers refers to children who use such behaviors. After all, these children are learning ambiguous ambiguous ambiguous in society and they have fun.
People have many ways to communicate beliefs and goals: through the dome and social rules of language, actions, sub-sections and culture. “That’s a noisy system, where information can be lost,” says Bridger. LOOPOLA works found commitments “about how to communicate and negotiate with others.”
