Nearly 100 babies were tested by researchers with the University of Washington's Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences
Most people who are hungry and finally have food placed in front of them rarely ever think about sharing — but apparently this isn’t the case when it comes to babies.
To reach their findings, researchers took nearly 100 babies of the same age and watched how they behaved when an assortment of fruits — including bananas, grapes, blueberries, and strawberries — were presented in front of them.Study Shows Moms Who Give Birth in Their 30s Could Have Smarter Children Than Younger Women
While the majority of babies clearly showed gestures of altruism, researchers wondered if this would still be the case when the children were hungry. So they raised the stakes and conducted a second experiment, bringing in a different group of children, all of the same age, right before their scheduled mealtime.
“The infants in this second study looked longingly at the fruit, and then they gave it away!” Andrew Meltzoff, the co-director of I-LABS, said in the press release. “We think this captures a kind of baby-sized version of altruistic helping.”
