- W2143243017 abstract "FH Bradley famously proposed that “the one knowledge worth having is to know one’s own mind” [1]. Popular beliefs maintain that the newborn infant has a limited capacity for ‘thought’, largely owing to the restricted degree to which a newborn is seen to actively interact with its environment and, furthermore, as a result of our inability to remember experiences during our own infancy. One could go further to argue that the medical profession in particular maintains a degree of selective blindness with respect to the issue, as it is often preferable not to consider the long-term psychological effects of an invasive clinical intervention performed at such an early stage in life. Philosophers and psychologists have long debated the question; Plato and, later, Rene Descartes (1596–1650) suggested that all infants have an innate collection of ideas and knowledge from birth, in sharp contrast to the ‘tabula rasa’ (blank slate) view proposed by John Locke (1632–1704) [2]. Jean Piaget (1896–1980) described a series of stages occurring through early newborn life, during which time the ‘egocentric’ infant acquires and assimilates knowledge through new experiences mediated by the five primary senses [3]. In the scientific community, the inherently uncooperative nature of the population translates to significant difficulties in devising and performing accurate tests that would allow the objective assessment of these complex faculties. Recently, however, results from studies utilizing in vivo imaging techniques, such as functional MRI (fMRI), have begun to shed a new light on the subject, and, moreover, have opened up an entirely new avenue through which the wider neuroscience community has begun to question and understand the biological processes that underlie consciousness and thought. At birth, a newborn infant brain has a similar number of neurons (~10) in comparison to a fully grown adult, but has yet to establish and refine the many connections that underlie human behavior in later life [4]. Although myelination is not complete until much later in life [5], and axonal growth and pruning is ongoing throughout the first few years [6], newborn infants can easily be shown to have behavioral and electrophysiological responses to a variety of external stimuli (e.g., pain, smell, visual, auditory and tactile) [7]. Observational studies have also shown more complex interactive behavior, such as a different reaction to maternal tactile and auditory stimulation, and it could even be argued that newborn infants are able to signal their needs (e.g., comfort or feeding) with crying [7,8]. However, although these abilities may constitute a level of ‘consciouness’ in the newborn, they do not directly suggest the existence of more complicated cognitive processes, such as self-awareness and ‘thinking’." @default.
