I am not a lot familiar with the active and adaptive learning literature but I found the ecological active-learning framework really interesting. 

In the introduction part of the reading there was a sentence “the experimental designs did not always take into account that children (and children of different ages or socioeconomic status) may bring to a task assumptions that are different from those expected and that potentially lead them to apply an unexpected, yet ecologically effective, default strategy for active learning.“

1. I am wondering specifically what kind of task assumptions the socioeconomic status of children may bring.

2. In this framework, are there only 2 main question-asking strategies, constraint seeking and hypothesis scanning? If not what are the other kinds of strategies?

3. And lastly, do you think these different kinds of question-asking strategies can also take as a prior, whom to learn from?  For example, if the closeness of two monsters to Toma is manipulated, will the children still make inferences based on the distributions in the uniform condition and skewed condition, or will they also take into account the closeness/knowledge, etc. levels of the monsters?
