Journal Article
Wood, L. A., Harrison, R. A., Lucas, A. J., McGuigan, N., Burdett, E. R., & Whiten, A. (2016). “Model age-based” and “copy when uncertain” biases in children’s social learning of a novel task. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 150, 272-284. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2016.06.005
