Williams is a postdoctoral research associate at Boston University Wheelock College of Education &amp; Human Development. She works in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bulearnlab.com\">Social Learning Lab<\/a> and is a core team member of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.developingbelief.com\">Developing Belief Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Williams&#8217; research interests focus on children\u2019s thinking and learning. She examines how children identify who (or what) is a good source of information and how this preference might change depending on the domain (e.g., religious vs scientific). Her research program addresses these issues by examining how children select sources of information, how children\u2019s beliefs in testimony differ depending on the type of informant, and how new information about an informant\u2019s accuracy changes children\u2019s judgments of that informant. She is also interested in children\u2019s evaluations and transmission of information in the domains of science and religion.<\/p>\n<p>Pronouns: she\/her<\/p>\n<h3>Recent News<\/h3>\n\n","protected":false},"author":9274,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/id-andrea.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/75577"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/id-andrea.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/id-andrea.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-andrea.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9274"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/id-andrea.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/75577\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75797,"href":"https:\/\/id-andrea.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/75577\/revisions\/75797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/id-andrea.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
