description:
The hypothesis of Natural Pedagogy proposes that ostensive-referential-inferential communication in humans is an adaptation that has made the transmission of generalizable semantic information to others possible. This hypothesis predicts that young human infants must be prepared to be at the receptive side of this kind of communication and must display specific perceptual-cognitive biases in their reaction to communicative stimuli. I present the results of some recent studies that confirmed these predictions.
