Understanding how children learn different casual structures
This study investigates how children learn and explore different causal structures—when actions produce outcomes of varying magnitude or diversity (some big, some small, and some more varied), and how these causal actions can be applied to generate new and different effects. We are interested in which actions children choose when they explore and attend to novel situations they have not encountered before.
