Figure from Santiago et al., 2026: Figure 6 Developmental continuity and change, Experiment 2. Children at all ages predicted that a liked object would be kept on a high shelf more often when competitors were present, versus absent (left panel). By 6.39 years, children predicted that disliked objects would be placed on the low shelf more often when there were competitors, consistent with the expectation that others would share objects that they disliked, but knew others wanted (right panel). Dashed line represents chance (0.5). Gray error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
