Choice Overload Among Children

We demonstrate a choice overload effect for preschool children (ages 4-5) and first graders (ages 6-7), in which children’s satisfaction from their chosen item was diminished if chosen from a large vs. a smaller set of choices. In contrast, fourth-grade children’s satisfaction was higher as set size increased.
