Pearl is primarily interested in social learning and moral development, specifically focusing on (1) the different ways in which testimony can affect children’s moral judgments across cultures (Li, Harris, & Koenig, 2019; Li, & Koenig, 2022),; (2) the role of social or interpersonal trust on children’s testimonial learning (Li, & Koenig, 2020; Koenig, Li, & McMyler, 2021) and (3) the situational and cultural mechanisms that make children either too resistant, or too credulous to trust adult testimony, especially in the face of claims that contradict children’s own intuitions and prior knowledge Li, & Koenig, 2022).
