The baby alone played with snakes and the scientific solution behind it
Each of us has our own fear - fear of heights, fear of the dark . or fear of animals such as cockroaches, mice, snakes . And of course, seeing this hideous creature, they will run away immediately.
And do you know, up to 10% of the world's population suffer from Ophidiophobia?
However, the question today is to follow you, how long does this fear of snakes come from - right from the time of your childhood, growing up a little and then becoming afraid.
A baby is sitting and playing with snakes.
And to answer this question, the scientific community has studied and provided you with an extremely unexpected result.
Accordingly, a video of BBC Earth recorded in 2015 recorded a baby about 11 months old sitting with a snake (the snake was removed toxin) in the room very carefree, innocent . like you're playing a toy.
The baby sat playing with snakes without showing any fear at all.
The baby sat playing with snakes without showing any fear at all. Research results show that babies are only slightly startled at first and have a low average heart rate.
But why?
According to experts, in the first years of life, we don't seem to be afraid of anything. The latter fear is formed by the process of acquiring, learning from the people around, from stumbling with "life".
Simply put, it was a time when I was carefree with all the phenomenal things in the world . but when I grew up, seeing what people around me feared, they gradually formed reflexes afraid of those things - like with adults, their relatives.
In the early years, we don't seem to be afraid of anything.
But there are also cases when seeing their relatives not afraid of animals, when they grow up, they also have reflexes that are not afraid of being like those around them.
If so, they were only mildly afraid - with a startled expression, slightly panicked.
At the top of the study, Vanessa LoBue of Rutgers University in New Jersey shared with the BBC: "In 2015, in this experiment, we found that children tend to detect and react quickly to snakes. This is possible. Now, they quickly discovered a snake in the picture between the others without snakes.
Monkeys are also one of the species they care about as snakes, but it seems that the reptile has some special characteristics that make them quite excited.
However, the fact that babies do not show fear will help them form thinking to discover things around them. This reflex helps your child to avoid danger skills later on. "
In another study, people were born with two fears - loud noise and noise - and most other fears formed in six years.
Therefore, it is understandable that children in the early years are not afraid of this reptile when they are young. Attention, fear will gradually form when they get older.
