Core Knowledge and Conceptual Change

Beschreibung

Are humans born good? Or do children learn to be moral? Where do concepts like "democracy" and "atom" come from? This volume documents ground-breaking answers to these questions from developmental psychology, including new science on language, morality, causal explanation, and children's understanding of time, numbers, and other minds.

David Barner, PhD, is a Professor of Psychology and Linguistics at the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Barner studies the origin of human language and thought by studying how they develop in children in diverse cultural and linguistic contexts. Andrew Scott Baron, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of British Columbia, Canada. Dr. Baron's research explores the nature of the human capacity to be prejudiced by examining infants' and young children's tendency to categorize others into social groups and to form positive and negative attitudes and beliefs about these groups.
