A variety of new UC Berkeley research on babies and young children is revealing how well and how early in life humans are able to perform complicated thinking tasks, sometimes better than computers. In fact, scientists are even trying to develop computer programs that can mimic what's going on in babies' brains. Prof. Alison Gopnik, Prof. Fei Xu, Prof. Thomas Griffiths, and graduate students Sophie Bridgers, Stephanie Denison, and Caren Walker discuss their work.
