...about moral development? One of the great philosophical debates is whether people are born with an innate sense of right and wrong or whether it develops over time. Does your research shed light on that question? Yes, there's quite clearly an innate basis for our moral sentiments. The youngest children have a great capacity for empathy and altruism. There's a recent study that shows even 14-month-olds will climb across a bunch of cushions and go across a room to give you a pen if you drop one. And we know babies imitate facial expressions...

...behind all that confidence, I figure, must be some hard lessons learned. This is the man who has been taught the main moral of this recession better than anyone else: you can't borrow more than you can afford to repay. His debt is going to be hard to dig out of even if things get better soon. So when I ask how long it will be before he'd even consider getting a loan for more expansion, I expect him to apologize for his recklessness and pledge to become a saver. Instead, he sits up, widens his eyes...

...child psychology? What are the pressing questions we're trying to figure out? The real excitement is collaborating with computer scientists and neuroscientists and starting to understand in detail how children learn so much so quickly. Another interesting frontier is understanding how learning fits with children's emotions and moral relationships. Those two things have tended to be separate - there are people who study emotion and there are people who study knowledge. Increasingly, we're realizing that those things go hand in hand for babies. (See TIME's photo-essay "Growing Up with Harry Potter...

...government in the world, when facing an armed rebellion, has a constitutional, legal and moral obligation to resist these militants. This happens everywhere. You will find in all the world's countries that militants that take up arms against a government are classified as "terrorists." Even those who resist occupation in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine are classified today as "terrorists." Except in Sudan, when some take up arms, the government is [considered] guilty! This is a clear targeting of the government...
