우리는 태어나는 순간부터 세상을 배우기 시작한다

Two months old. What exactly is happening inside the brain of a baby who cannot yet speak and is clumsy at rolling over? For a long time, scientists have believed that a baby's mind is close to a "blank slate" (Tabula Rasa). However, a recently published study has challenged this long-held belief. The results of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning the brains of 130 awake two-month-old babies revealed that the infants were already distinguishing between what is alive and what is not. In this video, we explore: Why people thought of a baby's brain as a "blank slate" What Piaget's theory of development was The surprising facts discovered in the brains of two-month-old babies And what implications this discovery has for artificial intelligence and developmental research along with the latest research. 📚 References O'Doherty, C., Cusack, R. et al.
