@o_guest (I guess the others will be glad of no mentions) There was a Nature paper looking at tool use in babies that I took exception to ;)

Pl don't tell me it was your lab (I hope not!). Fair time ago! It was an article following a paper I'd set out to read!

&'they showed the babies how to use tools & then looked at what they used them for. Baby marked 'wrong' for using wrench as hammer!

Not my lab. Also are you sure it was babies? Maybe toddlers? Either way, I don't know the authors.

Well: quite young as I remember. Definitely recall they wanted naive subjs so young as poss. Maybe babies *looking* at tool use?

Yeah, I am really not doubting it was a poorly done study. Link me if you find it!

No luck so far. Got to leave it for now but I'll try again later. (The now-21-yo has just been giving a final year presentation :/)
