Document Summary
Innate special-purpose knowledge systems: physical knowledge, biological knowledge, psychological knowledge, numerical knowledge, linguistic knowledge. If you present 5 month olds infants with a display with two items and then two items and then two items and so on, they will habituate. If you change it up and present something with three items, they orient again but only at low quantities. Wynn study: test sequence of events for 1+1=2, experiment puts a doll about the screen, screen starts to come up, then experimenter places a second doll behind the screen. Item indifference: kids will still count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 even if items repeat (not 1, 1, 1, 2, 1 or. 1, 1, 1, candle, 1: cardinality principle, realize that when they count something, that last number that they count refers to the number of items in total. Overlapping waves model: use different strategies intermittently, similar to the notion of broad applicability.
