ABSTRACT

These claims appear to have been endorsed by theorists who agree on little else besides. So, for instance, according to many behaviourists, Piagetian psychologists, AI researchers and connectionist theorists, the innate structure of the human mind consists of little more than a general-purpose learning mechanism. According to these theorists, whatever differentiation into domain-specific cognitive systems there might be will reflect differentiation in the environment and not our innate endowments.
