If yesterday we saw an experiment in which the primatologist Pablo Herreros showed us how young children show their innate spirit of cooperation and altruism, today we are going to show you the way their minds evolve and how they solve, at different ages, a problem with a peanut and a tube.
As with many experiments performed to better understand the child psyche, we will have the opportunity to understand everyday situations but very important to better understand our children. We already saw it with Harlow's experiment, about the need for physical contact, or Bandura's, about aggressiveness. Let's go to this now:
Young children are very skilled at solving problems but when using new instruments, primates, in this case, orangutans, can give us a surprise and show us to have patience and let small human puppies evolve at their own pace.
In this experiment, appeared in the "We are Primates (II)" Networks program a challenge is put to several human children and other nonhuman primates. A peanut at the bottom of a glass tube What to get out. Watch the video and be amazed. I believe this teaches us many things about the mind of our children and also about how far we are from our primate cousins. True?
