Alison Gopnik et al: The Scientist in the Crib
The Scientist in the Crib: What Early Learning Tells Us About the Mind, from the back cover: “This [book] discusses important discoveries about how much babies and young children know and learn, and how much parents naturally teach them. It argues that evolution designed us both to teach and learn [...] It also reveals [insights about how] even very young children [...] use some of the same methods that allow scientists to learn so much about the world.” (Via Malcom Gladwell.)
