Judith Harris brand brand of cultural determinisn usually implies latent
biological underpinnings.
Anyway Jim Clark noted some important stuff. We should never forget that
environmental stimulation can change
the structure and function of the brain.And in this regard the environmental
factors become "distal" and the brain activity
is "proximal". One of the surprises in black education is that up to the 4th
grades black kids are highly motivated and ehthused about learning,but by
the 6th grade there is a significant decline.This apparently does not
pronouncely occur with other groups.
