Wonderful video.

UC Berkeley scientists are using knowing about how children reason about
the world around them to try and built computers that will think more like
humans.

“Children are the greatest learning machines in the universe. Imagine if
computers could learn as much and as quickly as they do,” says Alison
Gopnik, a developmental psychologist at University of California,
Berkeley<http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2012/03/12/babyeinsteins/> and
author of*The Scientist in the
Crib*<http://www.alisongopnik.com/TheScientistInTheCrib.htm>
