“…When the epistemic credentials of the majority and the dissenter are unknown (as in the above studies), children trust the consensus, but when consensus reliability is undermined by other epistemic cues, they endorse the dissenter. Specifically, plausibility or conventionality of testimony (Bernard, Harris, Terrier, & Clément, ; Guerrero, Cascado, Sausa, & Enesco, ; Schillaci & Kelemen, ), informants’ expertise (Boseovski, Marble, & Hughes, ), access to knowledge (Einav, ), previous accuracy (Bernard et al, ), and previous success (Wilks, Collier‐Baker, & Nielsen, ) all trump the consensus cue, although the evidence is mixed regarding the age at which children recognize when it is best not to trust the majority. In several studies, this was seen from 4 years, whereas in others not before 5 or 6 years of age.…”
