What do babies think?


PJ posted this wonderful video of Alison Gopnik’s talk at TED, about how babies think and learn.  I find this sort of thing endlessly fascinating. I’ve recounted parts about empathy to a few people now, and the bit about our saying babies and children are “bad at paying attention” when in fact they are actually bad at NOT paying attention really resonates: sometimes–especially on walks outside–I have to help Hudson physically close his eyes by stroking his forehead.
