Francis Ford Coppola Instagram – @GopnikAlison proposes that adult brains are like spotlights: they can focus really well on one particular thing and glean specific details from it. Yet, children’s brains are like lanterns: they focus on everything at once.
Children construct implicit causal models of the world (theories) using the same psychological mechanisms that scientists use to construct explicit scientific thought. The actions of a infant have a profound purpose. To us they are just doing “little baby things” but actually, they are wiring their brains, determining how they will perceive things, developing the ability to speak and understand a complex common language, and eventually, become more like adults. We adults tend only to engage in limited thoughts. This is also an explanation of why it is so developmental for young children to learn several languages, in that it causes more complexities in this formative process.
Why is this important to me?
Because how our species, homo-sapiens, develop, think and behave is vital to the societies we create and that which controls us. | Posted on 21/Jun/2024 20:45:05
