A synthesis of many levels of constraints as a modern view of development
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 28 (4):498-499 (2005)
Abstract
The debate of nativisim versus empiricism is over the relative importance of evolutionary versus ontogenetic mechanisms. This is mostly seen today as a false dichotomy. The synthesis of these positions provides a modern viewpoint of grounded category formation. This combined view places equal importance on feedback between these levels in guiding development, and is more appropriately compared to culturalist positions.My notes
