The Epigenesis of Mind - Essays on Biology and Cognition (Hardcover)

Reflecting the focus of a Jean Piaget Symposium entitled "Biology and Knowledge: Structural Constraints on Development," this volume presents many of the emergent themes discussed. Among them:
* Structural constraints on cognitive development and learning come in many shapes and forms and involve appeal to more than one level of analysis.
* To postulate innate knowledge is not to deny that humans can acquire new concepts.
* It is unlikely that there is only one learning mechanism, even if one prefers to work with general as opposed to domain-specific mechanisms.
* The problems of induction with respect to concept acquisition are even harder than originally thought.
