How Babies Think About Danger | Shari Liu | TED
Are babies oblivious to danger? It’s not that simple, says cognitive scientist Shari Liu. Sharing surprising insights (and plenty of baby videos) from studies of early human development, Liu highlights the unexpected ways babies perceive and respond to risky situations — and what these findings could unravel about the inner workings of our minds. If…

This has to be the dumbest study I have ever seen. a red ball jumping over a cliff in a weird chessboard landscape? There are old people that would have no clue WTF they were looking at. But these babies are supposed to personify a red ball, realize its in danger, and watch it jump over a cliff in chessboard land?
And babies are smart enough to understand all of that but walk off the cliff themselves? Because why?
Nothing made any sense in this.

00:11 ???? The talk explores babies’ understanding of dangerous situations.
01:31 ????♂ Babies, surprisingly, are willing to engage in dangerous activities, showing minimal fear in certain situations.
02:45 ???? Babies can distinguish between safe and dangerous choices made by others, as observed in eye-tracking experiments.
03:40 ???? The findings generalize across different testing environments, both sterile labs and cluttered home settings.
04:53 ???? COVID-19 accelerated research, challenging the notion that lab studies were essential, enabling effective online data collection.
06:06 ???? Individual differences exist in babies’ responses to danger, prompting exploration of what these variations signify in their development.

What about the people on the street y’all love to avoid. Them once was kids who did not fit into the system. Adults with mental issues. Addicts y’all made. What y’all are coming out with makes no senses because y’all not really focused on what’s really going on at hand. I hope EVERYBODY makes it but a lot of people are selfish. Y’all can’t even notice that they are poisoning all of us through the water and food

So are we concluding babies are prone to danger or what if they are watching because it is dangerous much in the same way someone cant look away from a trainwreck. Do they want to do that act or is the danger knowingly eye catching because the perceived a dangerous act. I wouldnt bat an eye at someone obeying traffic laws but if i saw someone driving the wrong way down a freeway id be rubbernecking

Excellent research and I agree that looking at the raw data post hoc to begin understanding how infants differ in their tolerance and understanding of risk is important. As a person with more than 3 decades of standing in front of audiences, please learn not to weave/wobble back and forth while you speak. It distracts from the importance of your findings. I look forward to seeing more of your research.

I think the first experiment the babies were just looking at the bold contrasting shapes on the screen – the big drop just had a bigger green chunk
