A Couple with a Newborn Cannot Agree on How Much

question 132

Essay

A couple with a newborn cannot agree on how much their new baby knows about his new world. The baby's mother insists that he does not recognize anything and that he would not know the difference if he were suddenly transported to a different planet, complete with different sights, sounds, smells, and so forth. The baby's father, however, argues that the baby learned a lot while in the uterus and thus recognizes many features of his new world. Identify which parent is more accurate, and discuss at least four pieces of evidence to support that parent's view.
