Document Summary
The assumption is that we don"t have any cultural factors that would create bias of the results. When we don"t have verbal associated with them, we do better. Maybe an understanding of cards can change the way you look at these symbols. If you put them in a regular environment, the pups that are dull, makes tons of mistakes, whereas the rats that are bright, they make less errors. Dull parents create dull rats and bright parents create bright rats. If you restrict the environment they live in, both bright and dull rats make lots of errors. The environment actually change the performance of this task. The dull rats come up almost to the same level of the bright rats, partially because of the environment they are raised in. The brain mass gets larger based on the environment. Recall the study in which the white children outperform the black children as soon as they switched the language.
