Research reveals how babies think
1
Babies are particularly interested in faces.
They like the contrast of skin and eyes and
hair and mouth - and they prefer faces to other
contrasting objects.
2
When looking at photos, they prefer the
photos of people who are the same gender
as their primary caregiver.
3
Laughing is a form of socialization for
babies. So when they laugh, they may not
actually "get" what's funny, but it shows they
are having fun.
4
They seem to recognize - and react more to
- sounds they heard when they were in the
womb, such as familiar voices and certain music.

7
Babies are born imitators.
Babies prefer their native tongue.
Babies stay more engaged when they see
something unexpected, something that
doesn't act the way they've seen it act before.
Dr. Sue Hespos, Principal Investigator with the
infant Cognition Lab of Northwestern University,
has said, "Babies aren't concerned with
earth-shattering questions, but they are thinking
a lot about how objects behave and interact."

Another leading researcher in how babies think is Dr. Alison
Gopnik, a professor of psychology at the University of California,
Berkeley (and a grandmother!). Her studies (see video) have led
her to conclude that babies are actually a lot like scientists: they
observe, experiment, formulate theories, test those theories, and
draw conclusions. In fact, she says, scientists and other adults
could take a lesson from babies because babies are fully conscious
and open to new experiences.
