Authorship » Authorship
This study examines children’s ability to determine the source of written information. To explore this, children and adults encounter text in a variety of contexts, but the author who wrote the information is uncertain or difficult to find. We want to see how children’s understanding of authorship affects their trust of different information media and how this understanding relates to their evaluation of the knowledge and expertise of an author. This is a new study that will begin this summer.
