  …discussing how babies think logically and learn through experimentation

  “When Allison Gopnett and two of her colleagues decided to summarize a lot of this research in a book, they called it the scientist in the crib. Meaning that babies are like little scientists. They argue that when a small baby sits in a high chair and drops a spoon onto the floor over and over and over for mom or dad to pick up, what the baby is doing essentially is running a little baby-sized experiment.”
