Newborns seem utterly helpless, but not even a year later they have turned into happy, boisterous toddlers who love to play peek-a-boo and say their first words. How is that possible? We investigate how babies explore their environment and how it is possible that they learn so many new things in such a short amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Curious babies <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Recently we found that babies of only a couple of months old are already very curious and mainly look for stimuli from which they can learn something new<sup>1<\/sup>. Today, we are exploring the role of curiosity, the urge to keep learning something new, in children\u2019s development. In addition to the mechanisms and brain processes underlying curiosity, we study whether children differ in their level of curiosity. In our latest studies, we aim to understand how to stimulate curiosity and learning in babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"http:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"http:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Doughnut.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Doughnut.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Doughnut-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Doughnut-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Doughnut-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning from one another<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">We also want to understand how parents and caregivers manage to playfully teach their babies new things and focus their babies\u2019 attention on what is important. Imagine teaching a one-year-old how to use a new toy that can make a rattling sound when shaken. How would you do that? You would probably show it first, so that the baby can imitate you later. Interestingly enough, you wouldn\u2019t just make the move as you would show it to another adult. When adults teach a young child, they adapt their movements in a smart way. They repeat their demonstrations more often, show the exciting effect of the to-be-learned action, or sometimes make larger or slower movements<sup>2,3<\/sup>.  These kinds of adjustments can be registered precisely. The influence of these adjustments on the baby\u2019s action learning can also be measured. This will help us understand which combination of adult cues, and which patterns of interaction between the child and the adult, lead to optimal learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read more?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/advances.sciencemag.org\/content\/advances\/6\/39\/eabb5053.full.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Poli, F., Serino, G., Mars, R.
