Laura Schulz : The surprisingly logical minds of babies

TED 2015
Laura Schulz : The surprisingly logical minds of babies (transcript)
Summary
In this TED talk, the speaker tells us a special ability that very young children have. They can't talk yet though they can learn so much from so little and so quickly.
This is the fundamental mechanisms of human cognition and it seems to appear when they try to solve two problems that are  problem of generalization and of causal reasoning.
The problem of generalization means to be able to develop expectations about something and to extend it to almost everything for the rest of their lives.
Another problem of causal reasoning means how babies can use data when they make decisions on what to do.
It leads to being able to think about a connection between two things. Results of this experiment were remarkable, Chris Anderson said that the research was insane at the end of this talk, though.
I think that babies are really honest. I want to say what we are learning, we've had great ability, though.
Then the speaker left shocking messages to us.
This is a story about the problem of human minds but brains.
Our human minds can only perform thought we get the world right.
However. humans are fallible, we take shortcuts, err, make mistakes and we take world wrong in many ways.
This experiment has told us how we start from very small children and continue studying a lot of things.
We need more investment in our minds as same as an elegant form of technology, engineering, design, and brains to study.
We've started having with logical minds from very small children.
Is the way you go getting the world right?
