our brains already have programmed from the moment we step into the world; we obviously aren't anything close to a blank slate.
I believe that this statement dismisses the fact that humans have plenty of time to train their brains before the birth based on multiple sensory inputs.
- orthoganol 10y agoAny research you could link for this? I get the impression from the 101 child development textbooks that infants display an impressive number of schemas and knowledge despite little, if none environmental exposure, but I'm not familiar with arguments linking these schemas and knowledge to exposure in the fetal stage.
- eveningcoffee 10y agoSorry for the late reply and sorry again as I do not have any exact references, but for example new born are able to recognise their parents voice. Babies are exposed to the environment to some degree (noise, gravity etc) and it would be very dismissive to ignore it.
