In this insightful discussion, Karen Adolph, a professor at NYU and head of the Infant Action Lab, shares her groundbreaking research on how infants learn to move and think. Alongside her partner Mark Blumberg, they challenge traditional views of the motor cortex, revealing its role in processing sensory information rather than just motor functions. They dive into the importance of real-world observations in understanding development, the influence of ecological psychology, and how insights from infants can inform advances in artificial intelligence and robotics.
