Default Re: What Would David Say About This Remark?

I liked "im a model"'s post.

IMO it's very hard to distinguish cultural vs genetic origin in the data. And it seems to be the main issue for discussion.
Even for a black child raised in a white family we can't be sure if his skin color doesn't influence his development, as he can be under a high infulence from his black school friends.

A good way to test such a hypothesis would be to raise several children in the controled condition, bit it obviously is not going to happen. (Disclaimer: I don't advocate such an experiment.)

The final proof/answer will be done in cognitive neuroscience (biological psychology) down the road. Obviously the fellows working on artificial intelligence will also get a say - no need to raise human guinea pigs. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
