New research shows babies are ahead of where we think they are. 

Babies Are Smarter Than We Thought

Babies as young as two months old can categorize objects they see into distinct categories.

The new research indicates early visual thinking abilities.

The study conducted at Trinity College Dublin used functional MRI and artificial intelligence to study how infants process visual information.

The research involved 130 two-month-old infants who were shown images from 12 familiar visual categories while their brain activity was measured.

The combination of AI and neuroimaging provides unique insights into how babies learn in their first year of life and could inform early years education and AI development.  

The study’s success with awake brain scans has implications for understanding neurodevelopmental disorders and early brain development.
