I know this might seem like a silly thing to ask but really how do babies learn to smile and laugh to show happiness, or to cry when they are distressed? I really don't think they learn it from imitating other people, as a lot of babies cry right after birth.
And whilst we may talk in silly voices and pull funny faces to make amuse them, how do they know how and when to smile? Are we all born knowing certain things? Or are we learning even inside the womb somehow?
This is probably a really silly question and I thank anyone who deigns to answer it. =)
