+- No clear definition or end point
+- Solutions are better or worse, not right or wrong
+- Attempts to have lasting, unpredicable consequences
+- Each problem is unique and interconnected with others

+Infants learn an enormous amount in a very short space of time – a remarkable achievement enabled by a variety of learning mechanisms
+### 1. Habituation & Dishabituation
+
+A decrease in responsiveness to repeated stimulation reveals that learning has occurred
+- The infant has a memory representation of the repeated, now-familiar stimulus
+- The speed with which an infant habituates is believed to reflect the general efficiency of the infant’s processing of information
+- Some continuity has been found between these measures in infancy and general cognitive ability later in life
+#### 1.1. looking experiment (Maurer & Maurer, 1985)
+
+- 3-months old – pictures of faces
+- At the 1st appearance of a photo of a face, her eyes widen and she stares intently
+- With 3 more presentations of the same picture, her interest wanes and a yawn appears: habituation
+- By its 5th appearance, other things are attracting the baby’s attention
+- When a new face finally appears, her interest in something novel is evident: dishabituation
+
+#### sucking experiment (Eimas, 1985)
+
+- Allow infant to suck on a dummy that is connected to a computer and measure baseline sucking rate – Present phoneme (/pa/) repeatedly
+- Sucking rate first increases and then infant habituates (i.e., returns to baseline sucking rate)
+- Present new phoneme (/ba/) – Infant dishabituates (i.e. sucking rate increases)
