What do babies find interesting?

Jan 4, 2016 | Kid Projects |

The mind has a limited capacity, and so we need prioritize information that is salient in the world (e.g., car horns, lightening flashes) or relevant for current goals (e.g., faces while looking for a friend in the crowd). How this prioritization happens in the brain is well understood in adults, but not in young children.
