Understand the difference between constructionist and nativist. getting hurt and parents running to them: constructionist: our understanding of the world and stimuli is constructed through learning and experience. Completely a learn behavior: nativists: we do not create perception through interpretation; we have innate programs and maturational processes that allow us to perceive.
