Bio

Hailey Gibbs graduated from Salisbury University in the Spring of 2016 with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Philosophy. She joined the Cognition and Development Lab to study with Dr. Lucas Payne Butler that Fall and has spent the years since cultivating her research program in the areas of children's selective trust (i.e., identifying the sorts of cues children use to guide their selectivity of both information and prospective informants, including those informants' evidentiary practices) and children's questioning skills (i.e., how children decide what constitutes a good question and how the responses they receive shape future learning episodes). She has published in several peer-reviewed journals including the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, Child Development, and Cognitive Development, and has presented her work at several academic conferences, including meetings of the Cognitive Development Society, the American Psychological Association, the Society for Psychology and Philosophy, and the Society for Research in Child Development. She currently serves as the lab manager for the Cognition and Development Lab, and as the Vice President of the College of Education Graduate Student Organization. Her dissertation research focuses on (1) children's assessments of the efficiency of others' questioning strategies; and (2) children's presumptions of more efficient questioners as broadly more reliable, knowledgeable, and competent. This work has broad implications for inquiry-based learning and for later science and information literacy.
