we have been at the lab...

we went once more to the "lab". that's what we call it! harvard's laboratory for developmental studies in cambridge. the boys were both participating in a study about ownership of things and thoughts, with the spelke lab. kristina was greeting us and worked with the kids. it was very interesting to sit in and listen to the conversations.

after the "test" we had the following conversation:
i asked them how they liked it and what they think of the questions. amos promptly said, they want to know what is in your brains. elias was very clear about him not wanting to let them know what he is really thinking. he burst out saying, i answered exactly the opposite of what i thought was right. i don't let them see into my brains. so there we go.... lots of wrong "results", though i have to say, i'm sure he didn't do this really.
