Glass Half Full?


Babies know more than we think they know.  For example, most babies are able to pick the next winner of American Idol even during the "auditions" phase.

Just kidding.

But it does seem that most babies know what a liquid is, and how that's different than a solid.  Between actual liquids in glasses and solids that are supposed to look like liquids in glasses, babies stare longer at the solids - because they don't know what to make of it.  Which means they understand liquids in glasses already.

Bottom line is, babies know a lot more than we suppose they do.
