The 80% of babies chose the helpful character knows right from wrong. Does this mean the other 20% doesn't? Or perhaps they're the evil ones?

Yesssssss. I was a little skeptical of that as well. Is the other 20% total failures and will result in being in Star Trek interactive board games? I think the answer to that is very yes.

I wonder what % of the 80% would turn out to be criminals.

At first i was still questioning wether or not babies could tell the difference after the one video we saw in class.. but the tests that were ran in this video really convinced me that babies do know right from wrong! but also to add to that point, i think that since we are born with a conscience that know the good and the bad.. i believe it proves that our environment (or how we were brought up from childhood) is the dictator and the influencer in which defines us as a "good" person or a "bad" person, when in the beginning, we knew what was right and what was wrong.

this video really shows a great discovery! i would of really expected the percentage of correct answers by babies to be much lower than 80%. Also, you can tell that this isn't just luck for the babies, as you watch their reaction, you see that they process which object was the good guy, not just a questionable guess. This is a really interesting video, and very surprising!

I'm thinking that maybe the test was biased due to which scenario they showed first. In all of the ones that were mentioned, the good version was always showed before the bad one. This could have an effect on the babies' judgment because they are shown a standard to go by before they see the bad version.
Then again, they might actually show the bad version first every once in a while and they simply didn't mention it in the video; perhaps thinking that it was an unnecessary detail or something.

Its astonishing how babies can decipher good from bad. A simple tap on the desk when they see something good and no clap when they see something bad. When the first baby picked the correct block i knew that they were much smarter than we thought.

haha I swear some of these babies are smarter than high schoolers.
and no Mr. Carlisle im not trying to get participation for this

I agree with Niki. Could the order of the tests change the results in the end?? Also, babies have stuffed animals at home. Maybe, the baby is choosing an animal which is similar to one it has at home. Just a thought!

I'd like to believe this video but for me it's kind of hard to see that 80% 'knew right from wrong'. I think that if they switched the order around every now and then, the percentages would definitely be changed.
