Experiments

"This disproves the hypothesis, originated by William James and propounded by Jean Piaget, that babies are born with no distinctive cognitive abilities but acquire them through education and experience."

I find it dubious that the experiments disprove the notion of acquiring cognitive abilities through education and experience. Such a claim should be referenced at the very least, and from my understanding, is still an ongoing debate, see Language-game. --WLMorgan 19:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The example of experiments

The example isn't based on the preferential looking method, but the habituation-dishabituation method, isn't it? --Shaxshan (talk) 10:00, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
