In support of this statement we see it pointed out that a child or a group of children show some response to training, and this is held up as evidence against the heritability of intelligence or learning ability. Most estimates of the…

This subjective method of defining the what and how of learning is a somewhat autonomous sociocultural, political process which is capable of altering general perceptions of social differentiation.
