Evaluating whether someone's behavior is praiseworthy or blameworthy is a fundamental human trait. A seminal study by Hamlin and colleagues in 2007 suggested that the ability to form social evaluations based on third-party interactions emerges within the first year of life: infants preferred a character who helped, over hindered, another who tried...

The main aim of this study was to develop and test the effects of a field math intervention program on both number and geometry knowledge. The intervention was developed based on three basic skills previously associated with mathematical performance: symbolic number knowledge, mapping processes and spatial reasoning. The participants were 117 presc...

Resumen A partir de la pandemia de covid-19, los gobiernos reglamentaron el aislamiento preventivo obligatorio como una medida para minimizar la propagación del virus SARS-CoV-2. El objetivo del artículo es reflexionar acerca de las consecuencias de este tipo de medidas sobre el desarrollo y el aprendizaje en estudiantes de diferentes niveles educa...

Desde temprana edad, los niños muestran conocimientos complejos sobre el funcionamiento de los grupos sociales y las disposiciones morales de los individuos que los integran. Los niños de preescolar son capaces de inferir características compartidas por miembros de un mismo grupo social, y de generalizar disposiciones morales entre ellos. La actual...

Using maps effectively requires the ability to scale distances while preserving angle and orientation, the three properties of Euclidean geometry. The aim of the current study was twofold: first, to examine how the ability to represent and use these Euclidean properties changes with development when scaling maps in object-to-object relationships an...

Early on infants seem to represent social actions of others from a moral perspective, evaluating others’ dispositions as “mean” or “nice.” The current research examined whether or not 11-month-old infants represent these sociomoral dispositions as deep and identity-determining properties using an object individuation task. Infants were shown two id...

Adults and preschool-aged children believe that internal properties are more important than external properties when determining an agent's identity over time. The current study examined the developmental origins of this understanding using a manual-search individuation task with 13-month-old infants. Subjects observed semi-transparent objects that...

People’s explanations about the biological world are heavily biased toward internal, non-obvious properties. Adults and children as young as 5 years of age find internal properties more causally central than external features for explaining general biological processes and category membership. In this paper, we describe how this ‘internal property...

Esta investigación examinó si la capacidad para predecir acciones en circunstancias de incertidumbre puede ser comprendida como un proceso de inferencia Bayesiana. Se llevaron a cabo dos experimentos, cada uno con un grupo diferente de estudiantes universitarios de cíclo básico. En ambos experimentos se presentó un video en donde un agente entraba...

This study investigated if capacity for predicting actions under uncertainty conditions can be understood like a Bayesian inferential processes. Two experiments were carried out, each one with a different group of basic cycle undergraduate students. In both experiments it was presented a film that showed an agent getting into mace for eating meal....
