The largest and most powerful computers are still no match for the smallest and weakest humans (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Developmental scientists like me explore the basic science of learning by designing controlled experiments (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
One of the most distinctive evolutionary features of human beings is our unusually long, protected childhood (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Teaching is a very effective way to get children to learn something specific - this tube squeaks, say, or a squish then a press then a pull causes the music to play. But it also makes children less likely to discover unexpected information and to draw unexpected conclusions (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
The youngest children have a great capacity for empathy and altruism. There’s a recent study that shows even 14-month-olds will climb across a bunch of cushions and go across a room to give you a pen if you drop one (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
The brain knows the real secret of seduction, more effective than even music and martinis. Just keep whispering, ‘Gee, you are really special’ to that sack of water and protein that is a body, and you can get it to do practically anything (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
What’s it like to be a baby? It’s like being in love in Paris for the first time after you’ve had three double espressos (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Overall, female scientists have fewer resources than male scientists, just as poor people have less access to health care. But if you compare male and female scientists with identical resources, you find that the women are just as likely to be successful (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
I’m afraid the parenting advice to come out of developmental psychology is very boring: pay attention to your kids and love them. (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
What we want in students is creativity and a willingness to fail. I always say to students, ‘If you’ve never at some point stayed up all night talking to your new boyfriend about the meaning of life instead of preparing for the test, then you’re not really an intellectual.’ (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Asking questions is what brains were born to do, at least when we were young children. For young children, quite literally, seeking explanations is as deeply rooted a drive as seeking food or water. (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
We say that children are bad at paying attention, but we really mean that they’re bad at not paying attention - they easily get distracted by anything interesting. (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
What teenagers want most of all are social rewards, especially the respect of their peers (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Owning our past allows us to own our future (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Adults often assume that most learning is the result of teaching and that exploratory, spontaneous learning is unusual. But actually, spontaneous learning is more fundamental (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
I’m afraid the parenting advice to come out of developmental psychology is very boring: pay attention to your kids and love them (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Becoming an adult means leaving the world of your parents and starting to make your way toward the future that you will share with your peers (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
The best scientific way to discover if one factor influences another is to do a controlled experiment (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
What happens when children reach puberty earlier and adulthood later? The answer is: a good deal of teenage weirdness (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Animals are certainly more sophisticated than we used to think. And we shouldn’t lump together animals as a group. Crows and chimps and dogs are all highly intelligent in very different ways (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Childhood is a fundamental part of all human lives, parents or not, since that’s how we all start out. And yet babies and young children are so mysterious and puzzling and even paradoxical (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Putting together philosophy and children would have been difficult for most of history. But very fortunately for me, when I started graduate school there was a real scientific revolution taking place in developmental psychology (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Ineffective or weak brain connections are pruned in much the same way a gardener would prune a tree or bush, giving the plant a desired shape (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Scientists learn about the world in three ways: They analyze statistical patterns in the data, they do experiments, and they learn from the data and ideas of other scientists. The recent studies show that children also learn in these ways (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
The brain is highly structured, but it is also extremely flexible. It’s not a blank slate, but it isn’t written in stone, either (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
Because we imagine, we can have invention and technology. It’s actually play, not necessity, that is the mother of invention (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
If parents are the fixed stars in the childs universe, the vaguely understood, distant but constant celestial spheres, siblings are the dazzling, sometimes scorching comets whizzing nearby (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
From an evolutionary perspective children are, literally, designed to learn. Childhood is a special period of protected immaturity. It gives the young breathing time to master the things they will need to know in order to survive as adults (Alison Gopnik Quotes)
