The Scientist in the Crib
What Early Learning Tells Us About the Mind
Alison Gopnik
Discover how much babies and young children know and learn, and how much parents naturally teach them in this exciting book by cognitive science pioneers. Learn how evolution designed us both to teach and learn, and how the drive to learn is our most important instinct. This book offers fascinating insights into our adult capacities and reveals how even young children can use the same methods as scientists to learn about the world. Filled with surprises and humor, it gives a new view of the inner life of children and the mysteries of the mind.
