Unit 10 - The IB Curriculum - A Conceptual Model

<ul>
	<li>Both chimps and pre-verbal kids give us similar results when researched. It&rsquo;s like asking if Superman or Batman is better&mdash;they might have different ways, but they&#39;re both super!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>The Scene: Imagine trying to push a buzzer button, but you miss! 🚫🔊</li>
	<li>The Experiment: Meltzoff wondered if kids would copy what an adult did OR what an adult tried to do.</li>
	<li>What Happened: Whether the adult hit or missed the buzzer, the tiny humans copied the intention&mdash;trying to hit the buzzer!</li>
	<li>🤔 Think About This: Is this just kiddos following movements, or are they being mini-psychologists and understanding adult intentions?</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>The Scene: Human vs. Robot dance-off! 🤖💃</li>
	<li>The Experiment: Repeat the buzzer test, but with machines mimicking human moves.</li>
	<li>Results: Kids knew machines didn&#39;t intend anything. They were 6x more likely to imitate a human trying to press the buzzer than a robot doing the same thing.</li>
</ul>

🌍 Real-world Example: It&rsquo;s like how you&#39;d feel more inspired watching Michael Jordan try a slam dunk and miss than watching a basketball arcade game tossing balls and missing.

<ul>
	<li>Interesting Fact: While both humans and chimps understand intentions, only humans truly get when someone believes something that&#39;s WRONG.</li>
</ul>

🎭 Enter: The Sally-Anne Show

<ul>
	<li>The Scene: Two dolls - Sally with a basket and Anne with a box. The plot thickens when Sally&#39;s marble gets moved while she&#39;s away.</li>
	<li>The Test: Where will Sally look for her marble?
	<ul>
		<li>Right Answer: Basket (because she thinks it&#39;s still there!).</li>
		<li>Wrong Answer: Box.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

🌍 Real-world Example: Imagine your friend left their sandwich in the fridge. While they were away, someone moved it to the cupboard. When they get back, they&#39;d still check the fridge first, right?

<ul>
	<li>Big Revelation by Baron-Cohen, Leslie, and Frith (1985):
	<ul>
		<li>Who Took the Test? Regular preschool kids, children with Down syndrome, and children with autism.</li>
		<li>Results: Most normal and Down syndrome kids got it right. But, 80% of autistic children didn&#39;t.</li>
		<li>Why this Matters: It shows that understanding false beliefs (like Sally&#39;s belief about her marble) is crucial in developing our &#39;theory of mind&#39;&mdash;our ability to get into someone&#39;s head and predict what they&#39;ll do. It&#39;s what makes surprise birthday parties possible!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

🎂 Real-world Example: Like when you pretend to forget your friend&rsquo;s birthday (they believe you forgot!), but you&#39;ve secretly planned a surprise party.

&nbsp;

🌟 Takeaway: By age 4-5, most kids have this ability. The special 20% of autistic children who passed are like our &#39;mystery box&#39;&mdash;they need more research.
