Results support claims that social, and even moral, understanding and evaluation are supported by unlearned mechanisms available in the first days after birth.

The preference for helping over hindering replicated in a preregistered experiment, and newborns in non-social controls involving approaching versus avoiding and pushing up versus pushing down an inert ball showed no systematic preferences.

Thank you! :)
I am working on a post about my take as we speak, which I will finish next week and post here!
But no I didn’t try to analyze it myself, and yes we removed a lot of data but all based on pre-set exclusions. But prob we didn’t anticipate the numbers we would end up needing to exclude?

After COVID set back testing by years, we did not re-pilot the new videos. On the one hand, maybe we should have. On the other hand, aside from a lot of post-production on the videos to make everything perfectly controlled, I don’t see any reason to think there’s aren’t good helping/hindering events

Hey Brett - there sort of was - our original idea was to use videos that had worked before to elicit the phenomenon on screens. These indeed showed the expected effect size. BUT, our registered report reviewers wanted a non-social control, and we ended up having to redo all the videos for matching.
