When speech alone is not smooth, 13-16 month old infants can already recognize a person's past honesty of speech and facial expressions. Once a person is lying, his voice and expression will be remembered and for all the baby would not believe him anymore.
The findings are revealed in a study published in the journal Infant and Development This confirms previous studies, that the memory of the child has been formed since a very early age. This time more specifically, the memory of honesty.
"As a child in a more mature age, babies learn to recall a history of honesty someone with a certain degree of accuracy," said Prof. Diane Poulin-Dubois, a psychologist at Concordia University, as quoted from Dawn.com, Thursday (08/12/2011 ).
In that study, Prof. Poulin-Dubois involve some infants aged 13-16 months, each accompanied by one adult. Experiments carried out 2 times, each involving the interaction between the baby with his best man.
In the first experiment, a companion asked looking content box and pretend as if there is joy toys in the crib. The hope the baby will be curious and went along with the contents of the box look, and some will be deceived because intentionally not filled crib toys.
In the second experiment, the companion who successfully deceive the baby is not trusted anymore. Among infants who were deceived in the first experiment, only 34 percent are still goaded by the companion to light toy with forehead and not by hand.
Infants who are not deceived in the first experiment, in a sense really find any toys in the box tends to continue to believe the best man. In the second experiment, 61 percent of babies are still willing to follow a companion to toy with lights on his forehead.
