- Summary
- COI synopsis: How did you - how did any of us as children - learn to make sense of the world? How did we, alone within our own minds, ever create order out of the jumble around us? How did our unaided minds ever sort out the immense complexities of language and learn to connect symbols with reality? New theories suggest our need to be social is inborn - is genetically determined - and that we are almost biologically primed to respond to each other. We know how to talk, in other words, before we have the language to do so. At a very early age intellectual and emotional development are very closely bound together. Is our emotional stability built on simple games we share with our parents. How important is experience-sharing to the growing child? This programme asks these questions and examines some of the work being done at the universities of Edinburgh and Nottingham, to try and explain us to ourselves.
