How Infants Know Minds

By Vasudevi Reddy

Book Overview

This book argues that, contrary to the orthadoxy of developmental psychology, there is compelling evidence that babies in the first year of life can tease, pretend, fell self-conscious and joke with people. The author argues that such emotional engagements show infants' growing awareness of others.
