Episode 04 - Virginia Slaughter

from DeLTAcast · host Eric S. Jackson and Mark Blumberg

Parents the world over are fascinated by their newborn’s ability to imitate. But, is this ability an illusion? This month on DeLTAcast, we talk with Virginia Slaughter, a developmental psychologist whose latest findings on newborn imitation surprised even herself. Slaughter, a professor at the University of Queensland in Australia, talks with us about the long-simmering controversy over whether babies can or cannot imitate their parents and what it tells us about science, scientists, and ourselves.
