CONTACT:Psychology Reception
DESCRIPTION:For many years\, the scientific community neglected or even de
 nied the existence of anything resembling a mind in newborn animals\, whet
 her human or non-human. However\, since the latter half of the twentieth c
 entury\, a series of seminal studies has revealed a dramatically different
  scenario. Today it is well established that newborn animals enter the wor
 ld equipped with a rich repertoire of innate predispositions and skills th
 at facilitate learning and enable them to successfully navigate their soci
 al and physical environments.\nIn this talk\, I will present an overview o
 f research highlighting key aspects of the newborn mind\, with particular 
 focus on behavioural methodologies and findings in which I have been direc
 tly involved—chiefly investigating the newborn domestic chick\, as well 
 as extending some findings to human infants.\n\nHost: Prof Nicky Clayton (
 nsc22@cam.ac.uk)\n\nThis talk will be recorded and uploaded to the Zangwil
 l Club "Youtube channel":https://www.youtube.com/@zangwillclub5226 in due 
 course.
