How Babies Think Av Alison Gopnik, Andrew Meltzoff, Patricia K Kuhl

<p><b>A cutting-edge exploration of what evolutionary psychology is teaching us of the development and learning of children, in the tradition of Matt Ridley''s <i>The Red Queen</i> and Steven Pinker''s <i>The Language Instinct.</i></b> <br><br>Learning begins in the first days of life. Scientists are now discovering how young children develop emotionally and intellectually, and are beginning to realize that from birth babies already know a staggering amount about the world around them. In the first book of its kind for a popular audience, three leading US scientists draw on twenty-five years of research in philosophy, psychology, computer science, linguistics and neuroscience to reveal what babies know and how they learn it.</p>
