A busy Thursday morning

This morning Aoife and  I went to the UW Institute for Learning and Brain Studies so that she could participate in some research on causal learning. She had fun watching how one toy (green) frequently dispensed a marble (which she could then send on a Rube Goldberg-type device) and another toy (yellow) dispensed the marble rarely (she could still send it down the device). She was then give the choice of toy to play with several times, and she chose the green toy three out of four times, and squealed with delight when it dispensed the marble and she got to send it down the device.

After our time at the UW, we went to Volunteer Park to play in the wading pool. All in all, it was a great morning!
