What Do Group Members Share? The Privileged Status of Cultural Knowledge for Children

Abstract: An essential aspect of forming representations of social groups is to recognize socially relevant attributes licensed by the group membership. Because knowledge of cultural practices tends to be transmitted through social contact within social groups, it is one of the fundamental attributes shared among members of a social group. Two experiments explored whether 5‐ and 6‐year‐olds selectively attribute shared cultural knowledge on the basis of group membership of agents. Using novel social groups, children wer… Show more

“…This could suggest that infants of this age do not recognize their mother's singing voice, or if such an effect exists, that it is too small for our design to detect (and smaller than the observed effect of song familiarity). This would be surprising, given that infants this age and younger (4-5 months) can readily discriminate between speakers 2019) and given the ubiquity of parent singing in their daily lives. In general, singer identity is more difficult to discriminate than speakers (Bartholomeus, 1974), likely because singing constrains the idiosyncratic melodies and rhythms that aid speaker recognition (Van Lancker & Kempler, 1987), and because song is less frequent than speech.…”

“…Song also signals group membership. Children select friends who know songs that they know (Soley & Spelke, 2016), and expect members of the same cultural group to know the same songs (Soley, 2019). For song to be a signal of in-group membership, listeners should recognize songs when sung with different voices, starting pitches, and tempos.…”

“…Specifically, representations generally appear to be more elaborate than merely involving information about specific roles in certain social interactions: Ample evidence in psychology suggests that these representations of social groups are conceptually rich not only in the minds of adults, but in those of very young children as well . In fact, perceived group membership allows even young children to draw inferences not only about how people will relate to each other , but also about, for example, what knowledge (e.g., Liberman, Gerdin, Kinzler, & Shaw, 2020;Soley, 2019) or preferences (Shutts, Kinzler, McKee, & Spelke, 2009) they possess. Moreover, even young children are selective in what kind of inferences they draw from different group memberships.…”

In fact, perceived group membership allows even young children to draw inferences not only about how people will relate to each other (Rhodes & Chalik, 2013), but also about, for example, what knowledge (e.g., Liberman, Gerdin, Kinzler, & Shaw, 2020; Soley, 2019) or preferences (Shutts, Kinzler, McKee, & Spelke, 2009) they possess.
