Summary:Cesario's critiques and suggestions for redesigning social psychology experiments echo Dahl's (2017) call for developmental researchers to use experimental and naturalistic methods in a complementary manner for understanding children's development. We provide examples of how naturalistic observations can rectify Cesario's missing flaws for developmental studies investigating children's social biases and help researchers derive theories they can then experimentally test.
