Alison Gopnik : Vad tänker bebisar?

Babies and young children learn about the world with astonishing speed and sophistication, more like scientists than passive sponges. An 18-month-old can grasp that someone else may want broccoli even when they themselves prefer crackers. Evolution has equipped children with powerful brains and a unique, open-minded form of consciousness, allowing them to absorb, test, and experiment with new information constantly. Their playful curiosity is a crucial engine of human intelligence and adaptability.
