Quotes

“Infants are extreme explorers; they possess qualities that are often lost by adulthood: curiosity, novelty seeking, always learning (and adapting) without much hesitation, and perhaps most importantly, not being afraid of failing. These critical characteristics of infant learning work together with powerful learning mechanisms (e.g. Learning patterns and structure) to produce the best learner. While we still possess the same learning mechanisms as adults, we often lose the youthful characteristics of learning in adulthood.”
