Drs. J Ronald Lally and Peter Mangione describe the “curriculum” that all infants are driven to learn in similarly physical terms (PITC training modules, www.pitc.org). Babies explore:
- How their bodies can move and fit in space
- How other things move and fit in space
- How objects, people, and ideas can be used as tools
- How to cause things to happen
- How to keep things and people in memory and understand that they continue to exist even when they don’t see them
- How to develop schemes (patterns) of thought and action
