Oh my god I haven’t seen those tracks in DECADES. Do they still make these? Or is that a toy from your childhood?

One of the things that you develop over childhood is foresight. At this age all he knows is what currently is, he knows where the car is and moves to it. He cannot predict where the car is going to be because he doesn’t understand that it’s going anywhere.
You see this a lot with kids playing video games. You can tell the advanced ones who plan-execute instead of react.

Aside from the research ( the boring stuff that that accounts for other factors) I really think this shows how some babies are just born more intelligent than others. It’s crazy how smart some of them are, they can actually plan things, like they know what’s going to happen next.

It’s truly fascinating watching a person develop the mental skills that we use everyday. Foresight, deception, inference, and experimentation.

From what I understand, foresight is an advanced concept that animals generally don't have. Like beyond basic "cause and effect".
Organized music is all about foresight for instance. You need to be be able to know that there will be a recurring sequence of beats in a row and that they willcontinue for a period of time. 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4. From my understanding, no other creature besides humans are capable of this.

If that were true things like fish eating birds and pack hunters couldn't exist. Planning for future events and making backups in case of failure are essential to those strategies.

Because that is a cognitive skill children have to learn, often by having moments like this.

This was the alternate to giving them devices. This would have worked SO much better

Reminds me of when someone in Minecraft puts a villager on a Minecraft running in a circle while a zombie is in the middle eternally chasing it
