Pattern of motor tension, thrashing of arms and legs, and crying with visual stimulation is a sign that child will be quiet and shy.

Biology delivers the brain, but everything has to be learned. The world could be a radically different place, given a different set of constructions. These positions are both difficult to hold. Neither really works: piaget"s theory of cognitive development. Described knowledge acquisition as a growth process. But constrained by biology in various ways. Children develop a concept of object that includes permanence. Experience with the environment has to be ingested by your mind.
