Document Summary
New borns anticipate the arrival of their own hands at their moths and seem capable of using proprioceptive feedback from their own facial expressions to mimic atleast some of the facial expressions their caregivers display. 2 year old self aware children readily partake in cooperative problem-solving activities with social partners, whereas even mature chimps show little interest in cooperative problem solving. 2 to 3 year olds are struggling to become independent or autonomous while. 4 to 5 year olds have achieved some sense of autonomy and are now acquiring new skills and achieving things and accomplishing things. 2 to 3 year olds are well aware that they may know something that others don"t and that people cannot actually observe their thoughts. 3 year olds have been labeled desire theorists because they think that a persons actions generally reflect his desires and do not yet understand that what a person believes might also affect their behaviour.
