报告内容简介：
Deception is a pervasive behavior among young children because it often serves adaptive, albeit sometimes immoral functions. In this talk, I will introduce my recent studies about how young children learn to deceive and its social and cognitive benefits. The first study examined how the ability to deceive emerges in early childhood via a 10-session microgenetic method. The second study examined whether learning to deceive in early childhood promoted more advanced theory of mind and executive function skills. The third study examined whether learning to deceive can help young children to improve their selective trust. The three studies highlight the role of learning to deceive in children’ s social and cognitive development.
