Abstract

![CDATA[Core knowledge is a psychological theory that addresses age-old questions of what capacities are present from birth (therefore a product of evolution) and what capacities are acquired through experience. The central focus of this approach is whether uniquely human capacities are evident early in development or whether the differences between human abilities and those of other species emerge later in development.]]
