    1. pointing might suggest that they were attempting to‘tell’the agent something

      It is interesting that the infants may be trying to tell the agent something about their false belief. Does this suggest that the infants perceive the false belief to be so important that it is worthy of informing the agent about?

    2. They shouldrealize that, although the agent had a preference forthe colour red over other colours, as revealed duringfamiliarization, she should be ignorant of the colours onthe front of the screens, as she was absent when thescreens were introduced.

      I don't know much about infant memory, but this seems like a lot of information to expect a baby to care about and remember for long enough to apply to the second part of the condition.

    1. Since these researchers found evidence of belief in infants as young as 15 months, how would they explain the research that suggests that children as old as preschool age cannot understand beliefs??

    2. The method sounds similar to the method employed in the intention experiment, where the locations were changed and looking time increased when the hand reached for a new item rather than a new path.

    1. In the grasp condition, theactor grasped the toy with her left hand. In theback-of-hand condition, the actor lowered herright hand onto the toy, letting it fall the lastfew inches so that it landed, palm up, on thetoy. In both conditions, the actor remained stillafter making contact with the toy.

      Why was the way the hand was facing (palm up or down) changed? The hand could still fall while face down. It may be beneficial to add another level of palm up or down to test this.

    1. The major finding of this study is that infants as young as 2months of age can categorize spectrally dissimilar vowels pho-netically.

      Why are infants more interested in changes in vowel rather than changes in pitch or tone? We use to infant-directed speech to sustain their attention because infants enjoy these tonal and pitch changes, so it makes more sense to me that they would be more interested in this.

    2. An insert earphone w

      This is interesting to me - so many of the other studies we have analyzed have presented sound from videos or recording out loud over a speaker. Do the babies get irritated with something in their ear? It seems unnatural

    1. "head turn"

      I wonder what other ways there are to test infants' knowledge of different words, besides head turns. Would there be a way to use looking time? Perhaps if a video of the same persons saying different words "kixm/qixm", infants might look longer than if they said the same word.

    1. Time of Day

      How exactly does time of day affect stress levels? This section tells me that there was a significant difference between stress 1 and control, and stress 1 and stress 2, but not how the time of day affected stress levels.

    1. Some theorists have asserted that imita-tion IS based on early leaming, they ckimthat the stimulus-response linkages manifestm imitative acts are built up through condi-tioning and learned associations I

      Have any researchers tested if babies are conditioned to imitate? That is, one group of infants receive a positive reward after imitation (such as a smile and verbal response from the adult) and the other group receives a neutral reaction with no positive or negative facial expression.
