    Teaching Without Thinking: Negative Evaluations of Rote Pedagogy.Ilona Bass, Cristian Espinoza, Elizabeth Bonawitz & Tomer D. Ullman - 2024 - Cognitive Science 48 (6):e13470.
    When people make decisions, they act in a way that is either automatic (“rote”), or more thoughtful (“reflective”). But do people notice when others are behaving in a rote way, and do they care? We examine the detection of rote behavior and its consequences in U.S. adults, focusing specifically on pedagogy and learning. We establish repetitiveness as a cue for rote behavior (Experiment 1), and find that rote people are seen as worse teachers (Experiment 2). We also find that the (...)

    Children Use Teachers' Beliefs About Their Abilities to Calibrate Explore–Exploit Decisions.Ilona Bass, Elise Mahaffey & Elizabeth Bonawitz - forthcoming - Topics in Cognitive Science.
    Models of the explore–exploit problem have explained how children's decision making is weighed by a bias for information (directed exploration), randomness, and generalization. These behaviors are often tested in domains where a choice to explore (or exploit) is guaranteed to reveal an outcome. An often overlooked but critical component of the assessment of explore–exploit decisions lies in the expected success of taking actions in the first place—and, crucially, how such decisions might be carried out when learning from others. Here, we (...)
