Sip & Learn -Babyology: The Science of Tiny Humans

Babies are often imagined as experiencing the world as chaos, an idea famously proposed by William James. Modern developmental science tells a very different story.

Join us for an evening with Professor Jessica Sommerville as we explore how infants understand the social world from the very beginning. Drawing on her research, this lecture will show how babies can distinguish between helping and harming, form expectations about fairness, and even weigh effort when deciding whether to help others, revealing a level of reasoning that challenges how we think about intelligence itself.

Professor Sommerville is a leading researcher in early cognitive and social development whose work, published in journals such as Developmental Psychology and Psychological Science, has reshaped how psychologists understand the earliest stages of human thought.
