Summary
This chapter addresses the compelling questions of whether infants are intelligent and whether infant intelligence predicts future mental development. The chapter first tackles the perennially intransigent challenges of defining infancy and intelligence. The chapter next reviews the history of infancy study from the point of view of what we thought we knew about infant intelligence. The chapter then draws the reader into an intuitive perspective on what might be everyday intelligent behaviors on the part of infants; that perspective is buttressed with scientific investigations. That laboratory work is subsequently elaborated on with reference to new paradigms followed by a focus on two prominent interrelated methods and measures of studying cognition in infants: habituation and novelty preference. Their interpretation as measures of cognition in infancy is supported with evidence from studies of concurrent and predictive validity. The chapter concludes with comments and thoughts about the future promise of a new view on infant intelligence.
