Analysis comment:
This article explains how it has been known that babies since they are 10 month old they learn that the actions that need more effort are the actions that have more value.
They have arrived to this conclusion doing some experiments. The real question that they wanted to know is that if this capacity is a natural thing that everybody has like the inertia of walking or is something that we learn like talking. In brief we can say that is an innate quality.
On one hand we can say this isn't a very important discovery because it's a small thing, in some way we can say this is a small thing that doesn´t have many importance.
On the other hand we can say that this little discovery it can make a lot of changes at the time at knowing in such less time that if a baby in the future is going to have sociallity problems and they could know how to fix it earlier.
In my opinion this discovery is very important because babies are really misterious in that way and every discovery counts. I think that knowing that is very usefull because with more experiments this might be an important thing.
I think this publication is very interesting. It is a topic that I had not heard before. I think babies are quite mysterious and every detail we discover about them I find very important.
