HOW BABIES THINK

The similarities between babies and scientist become particularly vivid when we consider how babies learn about things In science, and even in ordinary life, we look beyond the surfaces of the world and try to infer its deeper patterns We look for the underlying, hidden causes of events We try

to figure out the nature of things

It’s not just that we human beings can do this, we need to do it We seem to have a kind of explanatory drive, like our drive for food When we’re presented with a puzzle, a mystery, a hint of a pattern, something that doesn’t quite make sense, we work until we find a solution In fact, we intentionally set ourselves such problems, like crossword puzzles, video games or detective stories As scientists, we may stay up all night in the grip of a problem, even forgetting to eat, and it seems rather unlikely that our salaries are the sole motivation

We see this same drive to understand the world in its purest form in children Human children in the first three years of life are consumed by a desire to explore and experiment with objects In fact, we take this for granted as a sometimes exhausting fact of parenting We childproof our houses and say, with a sigh, that the baby is “always getting into things”

From the time human babies can move around, they are torn between the safety of a grown-up embrace and irresistible drive to explore Toddlers in the park seem attached to their mothers or fathers

by invisible bungee cords: they venture out to explore and then in a sudden panic, race back to the safe haven, only to venture forth again some few minutes later

Seen form an evolutionary point of view, children’s exploratory behavior is rather peculiar Not only

do babies expend enormous energy in exploring the world, their explorations often endanger their very survival The explanation seems to be that, for our species, the dangers of exploration are offset be the benefits of learning The rapid and profound changes in children’s understanding of the world seem

18th century, American used knives with …… (19)…….tips and spoons

related to the ways they explore and experiment Children actively do things to promote their understanding of disappearances, causes and categories

Fortunately, these aspects of the physical world are so ubiquitous that babies can do their experiments quite easily and for the most part safely The cot, the house, the garden are excellent laboratories For instance, we can see babies become interested in, almost obsessed with, hiding- and finding games when they are about a year old Babies also spontaneously carry out solo investigations of the mysterious Case of the Disappearing Object

We once recorded a baby putting the same ring under a cloth and finding it 17 times in succession, saying “all gone” each time In our experiments, babies often begin by protesting when we take the toy

to hide it But after one or two turns, they often start hiding the toy themselves or give to the cloth and toy to us with instructions to hide it again Eighteen-month-olds, who are not renowned for their long attention span, will play this game for half an hour

By the time babies are one or two years old, they will quite systematically explore the way one object can influence another object, for instance experimenting with using a rake to pull a toy towards them The toy itself isn’t nearly as interesting as the fact that the rake moves it closer

A key aspect of our developmental picture is that babies are actively engaged in looking for patterns in what is going on around them, in testing hypotheses and in seeking explanations They aren’t just amorphous blobs that are stamped by evolution or shaped by their environment or moulded by adults

SAVING TIME WHEN COMPUTING

Here is the second installment in our monthly “Computing for Business Users” guides

A common complaint among computer users is the amount of time they spend waiting for their laptop

to start up and perform its tasks Here are some handy tips on how to eliminate some of that waiting time

 Don’t shut your laptop all the way off between meetings; just put it in the low-battery consumption

“Standby” mode Shutting it down and waiting for it to reboot at the next meeting wastes valuable time This way you are ready to start as soon as you arrive

 Having too many programs in your computer’s Start Up folder really slows things down The solution? Eliminate all unnecessary programs

 Stop too many programs from running at the same time when you start up the computer Don’t know how? It’s easy if you follow these instructions: click the Start menu, choose Run, then type

“madonfig” to launch the System Configuration Utility Next, on the “General” tab, click “Selective Startup” Then go to the “Startup” tab and uncheck any startup items that aren’t necessary

These are small but simple changes that you can make for yourself to save precious time Next issues we’ll be looking at extending your battery life

Tetris is an electronic game invented by a Russian computer programmer in the 1980s The object

of the game is to move various falling shapes into position to make horizontal lines The technique for achieving this is relatively simple, but there are many different levels of difficulty within the game Some parents and teachers believe that computer games like Tetris have a negative influence on young people however, according to data published in a US scientific journal, playing Tetris may actually have an unexpected benefit Research suggests that there is a link between Tetris and improved brain efficiency, says Dr Richard Haier of the Mind Research Network in Albuquerque, New Mexico
