1.) inferential learning mechanisms - the way someone learns how to live in society (babies for example)
2.) In the first 3 years of life, babies seem to undergo a huge transformation according to the article "What every baby knows". Right when they are born they are able to respond and recreate facial expression. As they grow older they recognized what those facial expressions can be tied with, different emotions for example which they then react themselves to.
3.) "Babies are like scientists, continually overthrowing theories that no longer fir the evidence". I think this quote has a lot to do with how we used to perceive babies. We used to think they weren't intellectually capable to understand most of the things that they do. Now after research they have "overthrown the theories" and proved that they are far more intellectual than anyone had previously guessed.
