Question

One of the many books published by Alison Gopnik is entitled: The Scientist in the Crib.

First: Explain why this title is so accurate in describing infants (young children). How are they like scientist?
Second: Provide an example from the Gopnik videos and/or other course sources indicating how they are like scientists. Lastly, state why this long period of immaturity in the human offspring.

Answer 1

They discover new things just like scientists.

Step-by-step explanation:

This title ''The Scientist in the Crib'' is accurate in describing infants or young children because they are like scientists who do new things and gain experience from them. Young children are like scientists because they perform new activities and discover new things in their life. From these activities they gain experience which is a very valuable thing in their life. This long period of immaturity in the human offspring provides time to gain experience, once they get experience about things they get matured.
