this is xerox from a book... a chapter in a book... prob from late eighties judging by refs...
its quite good... basic but good.  the book came out in 2010, but its just an edited collection
of classics.
 
attacks the issue that Steve Pinker discussed in Blank Slate (but also in Language Instinct)...
this chapter is well before 2002 when Blank Slate came out.
 
 
this paper:  cog development is about
synapse numbers, patterns, placement
 
dendritic arborizations....
 
basically CONNECTOME  
 
connectome at any one time determines what is learned, which modifies the connectome...
this is a non-stationary system.</p>
