Uncertainty Monitoring by Young Children in a Computerized Task

Figure 1

A screen shot of the task. The present is at top center and is shaded in one of 20 shades from bright pink to dark blue. The boy mouse at left is supposed to receive blue presents and the girl mouse is to receive pink presents. The shrugging character (the Helper) at bottom is the uncertainty response stimulus, and when presents are given to her they are then routed to the correct mouse.
