Title: Exploring variation in infant cognition
Abstract: Research on infant cognition has yielded a wealth of findings suggesting that
infants start with initial knowledge of several core domains that capture critical aspects
of the world, e.g., physical, psychological, sociomoral domains. In each domain, such core
knowledge includes some early emerging concepts and/or principles (e.g., concepts of
objects, force, agents, social agents and/or moral principles) that help point infants in
the right directions for rapidly learning about the world. Most of the work so far has
been on infants’ group-level performance, e.g., in looking-time tasks. I will present ours
and others’ work that start to examine how individual characteristics and experiential
factors may (or may not) impact infant knowledge about the physical and the social world.
This will help us achieve a better understanding of variation in infant cognition and
allow for evaluations of claims on the origins and development of early knowledge.
