It sounds like one of the most fun questions a researcher could investigate, but theres a serious scientific reason why
8、 Caspar Addyman wants to find out.Hes not the first to ask this question. The great psychologist(心理学家) of human development, Jean Piaget, thought that babies laughter could be used to see into their minds. Studying when babies laugh might therefore be a great way of gaining insight into how they und
9、erstand the world, he reasoned. Although he suggested this in the 1940s, this idea remains to be properly tested. Despite the fact that some very famous investigators have studied the topic, it hasnt been given enough attention by modern psychology.Addyman, of Birkbeck, University of London, is out
10、to change that. He believes we can use laughter to get at exactly how babies understand the world. Hes completed the worlds largest and most comprehensive survey of what makes babies laugh, presenting his initial results at the International Conference on Infant Studies, Berlin, last year. Via his w
11、ebsite he surveyed more than 1,000 parents from around the world, asking them questions about when, where and why their babies laugh.The results are heart-warming. A babys first smile comes at about six weeks, their first laugh at about three and a half months. Peekaboo(躲猫猫) is a sure-fire favourite
12、 for making babies laugh, but tickling(挠痒痒) is the single most reported reason why babies laugh.Importantly, from the very first chuckle(低声轻笑), the survey responses show that babies are laughing with other people, and at what they do.

This shows that way before babies walk, or talk, theyand their laughterare social. If you tickle a baby they apparently laugh because you are tickling them, not ju
14、st because they are being tickled.Whats more, babies dont tend to laugh at peoples falling over. They are far more likely to laugh when they fall over, rather than someone else, or when other people are happy, rather than when they are sad or unpleasantly surprised. Although parents report that boy
15、babies laugh slightly more than girl babies, both genders(性别) find mummy and daddy equally funny.In spite of the scientific potential, baby laughter is “strangely ignored”, according to Addyman. Part of the reason is the difficulty of making babies laugh reliably in the lab, although he plans to dea
16、l with this in the next stage of the project. But partly the topic has been ignored, he says, because it isnt viewed as a subject for “proper” science to look into. This is a prejudice Addyman hopes to overturnfor him, the study of laughter is certainly no joke.1.The psychologist Jean Piaget held th
