7/14/2023 0 Comments Kids are querious![]() ![]() For those who are a little "content" driven, let me warn in the very beginning that this blog is not rich in "informative content", it is more of my thoughts on "Why do kids loose their curiosity?" This very thought made me dig deep into this and write this blog. Wouldn't they be asking a lot of questions there? Amidst these thoughts I sort of realized that most of the kids are curious initially, but somehow end up being the victims of education system and sort of loose on their curiosity. That is the place where they learn all the new things. So, I thought to make sure that Curiosity (or the questions) never ends, one simply has to experience new things, right? But is the world that simple, well simply not □ ! If experiencing something "new" was the only criteria, wouldn't kids be the happiest in schools. But if I see an alien today, I would be curious to know all about that creature and will have a ton of questions. This could be the reason why kids are curious and ask questions, like today I would not be fascinated by seeing a rainbow because I have seen it a hundred times, but a kid who is seeing it for the very first time would be excited to another level. Kids are born learners, with a natural curiosity to figure out how the world works. One of the reason that came to my mind while I was researching about this topic was that, most of the things kids experience for the first time. ![]() ![]() Maa, Why the moon is round, How will I grow tall soon.What is this thing.Look what I found.Why do I have to brush my teeth twice and what not. Reviewer: Sara A.Kids are always curious, aren't they? Asking a lot of "silly" questions is their thing. At age three, the babies who had reacted with the most curiosity were the ones most likely to be rated by their parents as information-seeking and problem-solving. They found that the babies who looked at the magical objects a long time at 11 months of age were the same babies who stared at them a long time at 17 months, while the same babies who were uninterested at 11 months largely remained uninterested at 17 months. They decided to track the reactions of 65 babies to magical objects over time. Researchers weren’t sure whether the variability was due to babies getting distracted or hungry, or whether it indicated particular babies reacting to the world with differing levels of curiosity. That’s why scientists wanted to know whether moments of curiosity that babies exhibit are random variations, or whether they indicate a characteristic of the particular baby that carries into their later years. The kids are probably curious as well.Ĭuriosity killed the cat, but there’s no indication that it has the same effect on humans.Ĭuriosity in babies helps them learn about the world and might even predict future cognitive abilities. Scientists still want to find out how long this pattern continues, and what outcomes early curiosity has on the children’s futures. A team of researchers noted that some babies stare at the magical objects a long time, while others just glance at them and look away. That’s why scientists wanted to know whether moments of curiosity that babies exhibit are random variations, or whether they indicate a characteristic of the particular baby that carries into their later years.Ī common method for studying infant cognition is showing a baby a normal object that acts in an unexpected, or “magical,” way, such as a ball hovering in midair or passing through a wall. Curiosity in babies helps them learn about the world and might even predict future cognitive abilities. Curiosity killed the cat, but there’s no indication that it has the same effect on humans. ![]()
