Briefings

A 2026 article from Nautilus suggests infants may possess self-conscious emotions like shame much earlier than previously believed. The study indicates babies might recognize their own actions and emotions, challenging earlier developmental models. Key findings include the potential for early self-awareness, though the article does not specify exact ages or provide direct experimental data. The research remains preliminary and requires further validation before broader conclusions can be drawn.
