What Infants Know - Softcover
Synopsis
The question of the extent to which, and how we are "prewired" , lies at the heart of contemporary debates in cognitive science. The authors' stimulating analysis of what it is to be "born knowing" sheds new light on these debates and points the way to anew scientific psychology of human development.

Review
"Fascinating and readable text ... This book was a particular delight to me as a clinician ... I am sure that this book will enrich the observations and understanding of cognition, that underlie behaviour for those who study any stage of human development." Developmental and Behavioural Pediatrics
"An exceeding charming and informative book-highly literate, and sensible and accurate!" Lila Gleitman, University of Pennsylvania
"Interesting, well-organized, scientifically accurate and up-to-date ... Mehler and Dupoux use lively examples and metaphors, and nice figures of speech." Steve Pinker, MIT
