Chapter 5 Exploring Human Development
Why would any one think that a baby was born a blank slate? It is true that babies can not do a lot of things but if you just watch a baby one day after it is born and you can see that they will respond a women's voice better than a man's.
It is funny to watch a baby look at their refection. Babies will look at their reflection a lot of time if they find a reflective surface. They will make faces at themselves in the reflective surface.
There are animals like chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas, dolphins, elephants, and magpies that have demonstrated self-recognition of their mirror image.
The videos were very interesting about how babies will react to things. The experiment that I thought was funny that they performed was have a baby crawl across a piece of clear plastic over what looks like the floor. The younger babies will do it but not the older ones. It looks like they will fall if they crawl out on the clear plastic sheeting. Babies can be too smart for their own good sometimes.
