The Developing Child

BBC World Service - The Forum, The Developing Child

What goes on in the brain of a baby and how does it develop?

How early on can a small child distinguish between right and wrong? What does the latest research tell us about how a baby’s brain develops? And could watching TV be as good for the baby as reading books? Joining Bridget Kendall are child brain researcher Annette Karmiloff–Smith, psychologist Paul Bloom, and children’s writer Lesley Beake.
