Abstract
Studying consciousness in prelinguistic infants presents a challenge. We cannot ask them what they saw, and they cannot understand complex task instructions. This paper offers an optimistic methodology for studying infant consciousness, by drawing on philosophical work concerning natural kinds. I argue that this methodology is scientifically realistic. I also use it to interpret recent neuroscientific results concerning conscious perception in infants.
