Colbert Report on Babies
June 12, 2013
Two shorten the road.

The Colbert Report is an American satirical late-night television program on the Comedy Central network. On one show Steven Colbert interviewed Alison Gopnik, the author of The Philosophical Baby: What Children's Minds Tell Us About Truth, Love, and the Meaning of Life (Picador, 2010). In the interview Gopnik demonstrated how babies know much more, learn more, and are much more moral than we previously have suspected. This comedic interview is surprisingly educational.
In the last decade there has been a revolution in our understanding of the minds of infants and young children. We used to believe that babies were irrational, and that their thinking and experience were limited. Now Alison Gopnik — a leading psychologist and philosopher, as well as a mother — explains the cutting-edge scientific and psychological research that has revealed that babies learn more, create more, care more, and experience more than we could ever have imagined.

This Charlie Rose interview with Alison Gopnik is even better! http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/10693 11 min. Focuses on reason for imaginary friends, young children's perceptions, curiosity and play. John Medina's Brain Rules for Baby also worth checking out.
