Wonderfest: Democracy in Infancy: Early Cognitive Development and Good Citizenship

In recent decades, developmental psychologists' discoveries about the powerful cognitive mechanisms that underlie children's early learning have led them to dub children "little scientists." Appreciating the surprising potential in children’s natural abilities to solve problems, reason, and experiment can help us make better decisions for our families and communities. In addition, the lessons we can learn from young children’s cognitive flexibility - including their abilities to seek evidence and change their beliefs - are a model for 21st-century cognitive citizenship.
