Spelke's masterfully describes infants' impressive repertoire of core cognitive concepts, from which the suite of human knowledge is eventually built. The current commentary argues for the existence of a core concept that Spelke claims preverbal infants lack: social goal. Core social goal concepts, operative extremely early in human development, underlie infants' basic abilities to interpret and evaluate entities within the moral world; such abilities support claims for a core moral domain.
斯佩尔克精彩地描述了婴儿令人印象深刻的核心认知概念,人类知识体系正是从这些核心认知概念发展而来。这篇评论文章认为,斯佩尔克所声称的婴儿在言语之前缺乏的核心概念是存在的:社会目标。核心社会目标概念在人类发展的早期就发挥作用,是婴儿理解和评估道德世界中实体的基本能力的基础;这些能力支持了核心道德领域的主张。
