  We are moving towards a better understanding of the early cognitive and motivational underpinnings of moral norms, understood as social rules or expectations that all are expected to obey and enforce.  As we noted, there is still much to learn here about both the early state and what is likely to be a very complicated developmental story about maturation and the influence of the child’s social environment. (Bloom and Wynn 2016 provides a useful and philosophically informed summary of the sate of research on which features of our moral cognition are, or are not, part of an early core.)  But there is mounting evidence that from early in their first year infants are social cognizers with (at least) a hold on the moral realm.  It is hard to see any way that all of this can be learned from experience (Hamlin 2015).
