When indicating {\textless}br{\textgreater}the location of a hidden toy, children pointed equally accurately for adult and peer {\textless}br{\textgreater}partners but more often for adult partners. When choosing from one of three hiding {\textless}br{\textgreater}places, children used adults{\textquoteright} pointing to find a hidden toy significantly more often {\textless}br{\textgreater}than they used peers{\textquoteright}. In interaction with peers, children{\textquoteright}s choice behavior was at {\textless}br{\textgreater}chance level. These results suggest that toddlers ascribe informative value to adults{\textquoteright} {\textless}br{\textgreater}but not peers{\textquoteright} pointing gestures, and highlight the role of children{\textquoteright}s social expecta-{\textless}br{\textgreater}tions in their communicative development.}}, journal = {{Developmental Science}}, volume = {21}, number = {5}, eid = {e12660}, }
