About
Zuofei Geng is a developmental psychologist whose research explores how children navigate the digital world, particularly their selective trust in technological informants. Geng’s work sits at the intersection of cognitive development, digital media, and social learning, examining how young minds evaluate information from non-human sources such as smart speakers, robots, and online interfaces. In their highly cited paper, "Living in a digital ecology: Children's selective trust in technological informants" (2025), Geng investigates the nuanced ways children decide when to trust digital agents over human informants, a critical question in an era of pervasive technology. This foundational study has already garnered early citations, signaling its growing influence in developmental psychology and human-computer interaction. Geng’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging classic theories of epistemic trust with modern digital contexts, offering insights into how children’s learning environments are evolving. By highlighting the cognitive strategies children use to filter information from both human and technological sources, Geng provides essential guidance for educators, parents, and designers of child-centered technology. Their work promises to shape future research on digital literacy and the developmental implications of growing up in an increasingly automated world.
