Measuring Babies' Understanding of Social and Moral Evaluation

In this episode,  Anjie chats with Deon Benton, a Visiting Assistant Professor at Swarthmore College.  He directs the Causality, Mind, and Computational Modeling Lab. Deon investigates causal learning in infants and children with a particular focus on those mechanisms and processes that support such learning. He uses both behavioral research and computational (connectionist) modeling to examine this topic. In this episode, he will be sharing with us his recent research on using a connectionist model to investigate infants’ understanding of morality.
