Congratulazioni a Daniil Serko, il cui articolo è stato accettato nella rivista Developmental Science! Abbiamo studiato la ricerca di informazioni pre-decisionali nei bambini dai 2 ai 4 anni e abbiamo scoperto che i bambini piccoli selezionano indizi rilevanti quando cercano una ricompensa nascosta. Un ringraziamento speciale anche a Yi-Lin Li, Nora Swaboda, la nostra ex dottoranda, e Azzurra Ruggeri.
