An expert on the brain argues that the mind is not a blank slate and that much early behavior is biologically predisposed rather than learned.Why do newborns show a preference for a face (or something that resembles a face) over a nonface-like object? Why do baby chicks prefer a moving object to an inanimate one? Neither baby human nor baby chick has had time to learn to like faces or movement.
