Children can read and think early

Recent research shows that babies, even just one and a half years old, can guess what the other person is thinking.

The results of a worldwide children's study, from rural China to remote Fiji islands published on January 29 in the up-and-coming social magazine, show that children are able to guess. I think the person who is opposite is earlier than I thought.

A toddler can guess what others are thinking.

H. Clark Barrett, an anthropologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said: 'This finding creates a difference between humans and chimpanzees - our closest relative. Research uses the form of 'false judgment', one of the few things that young children can do that chimpanzees can't do. "

Barrett said: 'Humans are very good at guessing mental state as emotions, desires and in this case is the knowledge of others. This plays an important role in the transmission of social culture and understanding '.

In this 'false judgment' study of this study, a pair of scissors was hidden in the box, one person took it and pulled it into a pocket. Then the man placed his hand on his chin, looked up at the ceiling and asked, 'I wonder where the signer will find it?'

The study was conducted with 91 babies in three countries, China, Fiji and Ecuador, aged 19 months to about 5 years old. Scientists will re-record the study to examine the child's reaction to what happened.

The babies tend to stare at the box, showing that they are hoping the signer will find the scissors where he has stored.

Since then scientists have concluded that children have complex conclusions about other people's thinking, that they develop the ability to read thoughts earlier than we thought. This miraculous development is the same in different cultures.
