Babies And Learning

The video explores whether babies can discern good from bad behavior. Through experiments at the Yale Infant Cognition Lab, toddlers and infants show a preference for pro-social individuals. In one experiment, 19-month-old Sarah distinguishes between helpful and unhelpful puppets, while 3-month-old Addison shows a preference for a puppet that returns a ball. These findings suggest that even very young children have a sense of morality. Understanding these early moral developments could provide insights into conditions like sociopathy and psychopathy.
