That's right, kids are really good at imitation. Even a 13-month-old child can remember an event a week after a single exposure. Even when you don't realize it, your kids are watching the world around you. What you allow into your child's brain influences their expectations about the world, which in turn influences not only what they are capable of perceiving, but their very behavior.

New research methods reveal that babies and young children learn by rationally testing hypotheses, analyzing statistics and doing experiments much as scientists do.

A study conducted five years ago received a lot of attention when it seemed to reveal that babies have an innate moral compass, that people are inherently good and that society is not responsible for the fact that the majority of us do not flagrantly break laws on a daily basis. Now, new research has come out that calls that into question. While it does not go so far as The Onion article that describes children as sociopaths, the study states that the researchers may have read a bit too far into babies' natural preferences.

A trio of psychologists— Lu Zhu Luo, Hong Li, and Kang Lee — in China, and at the University of Toronto, recruited 60 men and women and showed then a large sample of children’s faces ranging from infants to 6-and-and-half-year-olds. The participants were asked to rate each face’s likeability (How much do you like the face?) and attractiveness (How attractive is the face?). Via Ricardo AHUATZIN DUEN

Ever feel like your sons are always on your mind? Actually, it might be more true that you think – researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have found traces of male DNA in women’s brains, which seems to come from cells from a baby boy crossing the blood-brain barrier during pregnancy. This is known as microchimerism, and according to the researchers, this is the first description of male microchimerism in the female human brain.

The FTC on the other hand says those studies were flawed.

(Medical Xpress) -- “That’s not fair!” It’s a common playground complaint. But how early do children acquire this sense of fairness? Before they’re 2, says a new study.

At a playground, it’s not uncommon to hear the refrain, “That’s not fair!” It seems that young children worry a lot about fairness, but psychological scientists have typically assumed that kids don’t start to understand morality until they reach their preschool years. New research, however, on 19- to 21-month-olds has indicated that sensitivity to fairness might begin a lot earlier.
