Born Knowing: Imprinting and the Origins of Knowledge Vallortigara Giorgio
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? Neither baby human nor baby chick has had time to learn to like faces or movement. Why do baby chicks prefer a moving object to an inanimate one?
Early behavior is biologically predisposed rather than learned, and this instinctive or innate behavior, Vallortigara says, is key to understanding the origins of knowledge.Drawing on research carried out in his own laboratory over several decades, Vallortigara explores what the imprinting process in young chicks, paralleled by the cognitive feats of human newborns, reveals In Born Knowing, neuroscientist Giorgio Vallortigara argues that the mind is not a blank slate.
