Defining the 'radical middle.' (review of 'Rethinking Innateness: A Connectionist Perspective on Development')
Article Abstract:
The book entitled 'Rethinking Innateness' written by Jeffrey L. Elman et al discusses the impact of radical nativism on the study of cognitive development or Piagetian constructivism. Its emphasis was on the nervous system architecture and the interval of development in forming outcomes in the absence of an assumption connected with representations. The book was quite vague about the abolition of the nature versus nurture issue which was negatively accepted by nativists.
