These systems are thought to function early in development; for example, infants recruit different brain areas and have different expectations about the behavior of physical objects versus social agents. Yet whether these specialized systems drive behavioral responses independently of one another early in life remains unknown. To find out, we examined individual differences in infants\u2019 responses to events involving physical objects versus social agents. Unlike previous studies, in which infants are tested with an event from a single domain, we showed 14\u2010 to 27\u2010month\u2010old children 16 different events that either accorded with or violated expectations about object physics or social behavior. We found that infants' increased visual interest in the surprising over expected events was better fit by a single latent factor than by separate factors for physical and social expectations. This similarity in surprise responses to physical and social expectancy violations increased with age. Finally, individual differences in infants\u2019 surprise across domains predicted later curiosity, highlighting the role these differences play outside the laboratory and across time. These findings suggest that although separate bodies of knowledge support infants\u2019 expectations about objects versus social entities, violations of those expectations also recruit domain general processing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Infants\u2019 responses to expectancy violations across physical and social domains reflect a single, domain\u2010general prediction error mechanism.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Domain\u2010generality of prediction error responses strengthens with age, suggesting growing generalization of error detection across knowledge systems.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Early individual differences in prediction error responses predict later curiosity\u2010driven exploration, but not other behavioral traits.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Findings bridge core\u2010knowledge and predictive\u2010processing frameworks, identifying surprise as a developmental mechanism linking error\u2010detection to curiosity.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/desc.70233","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,15]],"date-time":"2026-06-15T11:47:02Z","timestamp":1781524022000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Infants\u2019 Domain\u2010General Responses to Expectancy Violations"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5105-4779","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nick","family":"Bisbee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological &amp;
