About this product

Product Information

This exciting book by three pioneers in the new field of cognitive science discusses important discoveries about how much babies and young children know and learn, and how much parents naturally teach them. It argues that evolution designed us both to teach and learn, and that the drive to learn is our most important instinct. It also reveals as fascinating insights about our adult capacities and how even young children -- as well as adults -- use some of the same methods that allow scientists to learn so much about the world. Filled with surprise at every turn, this vivid, lucid, and often funny book gives us a new view of the inner life of children and the mysteries of the mind.

    Engaging writing brings new interpretations on baby behavior

    This is book is a highly readable report on the development of babies as afforded by recent innovations in imaging technology and creative experimental design. It blows away much of the biases and mythology about infants, and provides new perspectives on the amazing achievements of the very young. While it's easy to read, it is packed with information that make me want to read it again.

    The scientist in the Crib

    Great book, my college professor suggested I read it because I am going to school to be an early childhood teacher and double majoring in Psychology.
