Babies May Be More Conscious Than Adults

Today 's thought: According to the survey, babies are somewhat more conscious than adults, not only those that need to eat and cry. Adults may like to think like them

Neuroscience | Descartes believes that the baby's heart is just a sensory disorder. For a while, several decades ago, the newborn was under surgery without anesthesia, assuming less consciousness than adults. However, Jonah Lehrer wrote about Boston Globe that the latest brain research is confirming how deviated this hypothesis is.

Scientists have found that young children have more brain cells and less inhibitory neurotransmitters, and that is why they "learn amazing amounts of information in a relatively short period of time it can". Therefore, this article suggests that adults should be fortunate if they can have "developmental shortcomings" so that babies can not concentrate. It is our best choice to think like a baby. "

This study is the subject of a new book "Philosophy Baby" by Berkeley psychologist Alison Gopnik and asked whether the baby's heart really needed Einstein style learning aids in "Weekly Review". In another interview with Seed, she explained the evolutionary advantage that infants "unintentionally useless" in their foolish brains. She said that the children "are like human research and development department." [Boston Gloves, seed]

Gopnik insists that babies are conscious as well as more conscious than adults. Her argument against this view starts with an ordinary person - adult - who has a more conscious experience about what they care about, not what they ignore. Until we experience or have limited experiences, we do not have the feeling of background fridges or shoes on our feet until we stop thinking about it. In contrast, when we do routinely and skillfully and automatically (like driving to a normal route), we usually do not realize this most of the time. (But I think the problem is complicated.)

Fortunately, babies can not concentrate on 'developmental shortcomings'. "When it is necessary to classify a lot of irrelevant information at a glance or to create a new one, it is best to think like a baby."

Gopnik stated that the baby 's brain has greater plasticity than adults and has neurochemically similar general neurochemistry related to adult attention. Babies learn faster than us, learn more, and learn more casual knowledge without paying narrow attention. Gopnik notes adult attention, a mechanism that can change part of the mature slowly changing brain in a short time, flexible and quick learning, like plastic - like a baby suppresses changes in the brain Other parts of thinking as a mechanism to

It is thought that young people can group more delicately than elderly people and suppress unrelated distractions. If so, young people may use a different recognition strategy than older people. The data in Table 4 shows that young people use more effective perceptual strategies whereas the elderly perceptually group visual sequences in rows or columns and scan them. Young people may be able to process all items in the array at the same time, but the process is noisy, sometimes the jammer is mistaken for the target. For young people, search efficiency is improved due to the larger set size. Because, as stated above, the spread of suppression is more effective at reducing the noise associated with individual interference of larger size. Madden and his colleagues have reached a similar conclusion when comparing the combined search performance of the elderly and the elderly.
