Parental presence and encouragement do not influence helping in young children (2013, background): “Children begin to perform this behavior in the second year of life (Rheingold, 1982; Warneken & Tomasello, 2006, 2007).”
Social Effects of Movement Synchrony: Increased Infant Helpfulness only Transfers to Affiliates of Synchronously Moving Partners (2016, methodology): “The age of 14 months was selected as this is the youngest age at which instrumental helping tasks can be used to reliably measure prosociality (Warneken & Tomasello, 2006, 2007).”
Human Culture in Evolutionary Perspective (2010, background): “Warneken and Tomasello ( 2006 , 2007 ) had 1-year-old human infants and three human-raised chimpanzees confront a human adult needing help with 10 simple problems such as fetching an out-of-reach object or opening cabinet doors with hands full.”
Prosocial Behavior in Infancy: The Role of Socialization (2016, neutral): “do not include a reaching gesture (6).”
Origins of human cooperation and morality. (2013, background): “They do not do these things in control situations that are similar but in which the adult does not need help; for instance, they do not pick up an object the adult has thrown down intentionally or open a door he approaches with no intention of opening it (Warneken & Tomasello 2006, 2007).”
Precocious Prosociality: Why Do Young Children Help? (2015, background): “While verbal and nonverbal communication increases the likelihood that children will help, it is often unnecessary (3, 4, 7, 8).”
Prosocial behaviour in animals: the influence of social relationships, communication and rewards (2012, background): “Yamamoto et al. (2009) tested pairs of unrelated, adult female chimpanzees with known dominance relationships in side-by-side booths with desirable fruit juice located just outside.”
A New Look at Children’s Prosocial Motivation (2013, background): “For instance, infants as young as 14 months of age help others achieve their instrumental goals by removing obstacles and fetching out-of-reach objects for them (Warneken & Tomasello, 2006, 2007).”
Two Key Steps in the Evolution of Human Cooperation (2012, background): “Indeed, in experimental settings, infants as young as 14 months of age will help adults with all kinds of problems, from fetching out-of-reach objects to opening doors to stacking books (Warneken and Tomasello 2006, 2007).”
Psychological research on joint action: Theory and data (2011, background): “For instance, 1-year-old infants perform actions to help adults attain their goals (Warneken & Tomasello, 2007) and gesture helpfully to provide relevant information (Liszkowski, Carpenter, & Tomasello, 2008).”
The Development of Fairness Expectations and Prosocial Behavior in the Second Year of Life (2013, background): “Past work suggests that 12- to 14-month-old infants show evidence of helping behavior under these circumstances (Liszkowski et al., 2006; Warneken & Tomasello, 2007, 2009b).”
