After all, the tree has !ımbs that resemble arms and move in the wind; so it must be alive, like a person. And then, it must also have thoughts and feelings, just as people do. A young child who trips over a chair may say, "Sorry, chair, I didn't mean to hurt you." He wonders whether the…

The Developing Mind The Developing Mind For a short time, new babies seem more like small ani mals than future thinking beings. They start out with very few learning tools - some newborn reflexes, their sen sory organs, an immature nervous system and a potent but, thus far, only partially developed brain (pages 56- 57). In the first weeks after birth, it is really a baby's innate reflexes that exert the dominant control; how ever, learning is constantly taking place. Every…
