thing about children,
spin on Mark Twain,
to draw rich, abstract inferences

from sparse, noisy data.
i nepreciznih podataka.

for a very long time.
exactly the same thing,
pokažemo potpuno istu stvar,
because we have a secret compartment
jer imamo tajni pretinac
is the apparent population

maybe everything in the box squeaks.
much less evidence for squeaking,

koje mogu imitirati,
the condition you just saw,
u slučaju koji ste sada vidjeli,
would squeeze more,
da će same bebe češće stiskati,

uzročnog zaključivanja,
of confounded evidence
to you, but like most problems,
kao problem, ali kao i većina problema,
kad stvari pođu po zlu.
this toy go, and he can't.
ovu igračku, ali ne može.
imamo dvije opcije.
wrong with the toy.
just a tiny bit of statistical data
mrvicu statističkih podataka
can use that to make different decisions
na temelju toga donositi razlčite odluke
the toy go and succeed.
igračku i u tome će i uspjeti.
and fail both times,
i oba ću puta doživjeti neuspjeh,
to try again and succeed,
ponovno pokušati i uspjeti.
to my graduate students
sa svim mojim doktorandima
it provides a little bit of evidence
da dajemo mrvicu dokaza
it's with the person.
he's going to have a choice.
and change the person,
i promijeniti osobu,
another toy at the end of that cloth,
and change the toy.
te promijeniti igračku.
(Music)
(Glazba)
One, two, three, go!
Jedan, dva, tri, kreni!
opet probam, može?
(Music)
(Glazba)
to put this one over here,
Da, ovu ću staviti ovamo,
babies love their mommies.
ali bebe vole svoje mame.
to their mommies
is what happens when we change
važno jest što se događa
statističke podatke.
work and fail in exactly the same order,
radi i ne radi potpuno istim redoslijedom,
the distribution of evidence.
once and fail once, and so am I.
uspjeti i jednom ne, kao i ja,
who tries this toy, the toy is broken.
tko pokuša, igračka je pokvarena.
so she can change the person,
pa može promijeniti osobu,
at the end of the cloth.
(Music)
(Glazba)
One, two, three, go!
Jedan, dva, tri, kreni!
(Music)

to put this one over here,

I do actually have a question for you.
hvala ti, ali imam pitanje za tebe.
an experiment like that? (Laughter)
takav eksperiment? (Smijeh)
that that can truly be happening,
da se to stvarno događa,
similar experiments; it checks out.
slične eksperimente - drži vodu.
in our experiments,
doista izgledaju impresivno,
look like in real life, right?

the other key point you're making is,
vaš drugi ključni argument jest
where there's all this talk
and the whole theories behind that

o tome koliko smo nevjerojatni
that is underappreciated.

You know about numbers.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Laura Schulz - Cognitive scientistDevelopmental behavior studies spearheaded by Laura Schulz are changing our notions of how children learn.
Why you should listen
MIT Early Childhood Cognition Lab lead investigator Laura Schulz studies learning in early childhood. Her research bridges computational models of cognitive development and behavioral studies in order to understand the origins of inquiry and discovery.
Working in play labs, children’s museums, and a recently-launched citizen science website, Schultz is reshaping how we view young children’s perceptions of the world around them. Some of the surprising results of her research: before the age of four, children expect hidden causes when events happen probabilistically, use simple experiments to distinguish causal hypotheses, and trade off learning from instruction and exploration.
