Nature versus Nurture: The Simple Contrast
Davidoff, Jules; Goldstein, Julie; Roberson, Debi
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v102 n2 p246-250 Feb 2009
We respond to the commentary of Franklin, Wright, and Davies ("Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 102", 239-245 [2009]) by returning to the simple contrast between nature and nurture. We find no evidence from the toddler data that makes us revise our ideas that color categories are learned and never innate. (Contains 1 figure.)
