One important feature of the brain is its ability to make generalizations based on sparse data. By learning regularities in our environment it can manage to guide our actions. As adults, we have ...

It is shown that the method of Heuch and Li for recursive calculation of conditional genotype probabilities in pedigrees also applies to joint phenotype probability calculations. This procedure was ...

Even babies can estimate the probability of an event, say scientists who suggest that our ability to analyse risks and benefits of any action begins to develop when we are just six months old. Even ...

New research found that infants have better math skills than previously suspected. From the age of six months, babies can calculate probability and estimate risk. Research from the Max Planck ...
