I love reading about these kinds of things: how we think, how babies think, how they learn, etc.

One of my favorite Ted talks: http://www.ted.com/talks/deb_roy_the_birth_of_a_word.html

From the description:

    MIT researcher Deb Roy wanted to understand how his infant son learned language -- so he wired up his house with videocameras to catch every moment (with exceptions) of his son's life, then parsed 90,000 hours of home video to watch "gaaaa" slowly turn into "water." Astonishing, data-rich research with deep implications for how we learn.
