Title: How infants learn about their physical and social world - a dynamic developmental
systems approach
Abstract: Human flexible adaptation relies on both individual learning mechanisms and the
(culture-)specific learning environments we grow up in. With my research I aim to
illuminate the ontogenetic foundations of this adaptation process in the infant years. I
will report about infants’ neural mechanisms for the acquisition of basic physical
concepts (such as object categories and physical events), focusing on the theta rhythm and
predictive processing, and how these early developing concepts are shaped by social and
cultural learning experiences, beginning in the first year of life. I will then further
illustrate the interplay between infants’ cognitive capacities, and cultural influences in
the development of early prosocial behavior and cultural learning. In summary, with a
dynamic developmental systems approach, I aim to convey the origins of human flexible
adaptation in early infancy, laying the ground for human cultural learning and the
diversity of human development.
