Ep. 640: Alison Gopnik Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Alison Gopnik, an American professor of psychology and affiliate professor of philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley. She is known for her work in the areas of cognitive and language development, specializing in the effect of language on thought, the development of a theory of mind, and causal learning. Her primary study is looking at how we learn and grow from the earliest years of our lives.

The topic is cognitive and language development.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Life after death
• Narrow attention
• Exploring – as a child and adult
• Unknown, unknowns
• Bayesian babies
• Test and adjust
• Consciousness as a baby rather than adults
• Children and technology
