Question

Which perspective maintains that most human perceptual capabilities are inborn and result very little from learning?

• A. Nativist
• B. Interactionist
• C. Behaviorist
• D. Empiricist

Hint:

In contrast, Empiricists emphasize learning from experience, Behaviorists focus on external stimuli shaping behavior, and Interactionists believe in a combination of innate abilities and learning.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Nativist viewpoint contends that perceptual capabilities are inborn and neurologically predetermined.

• Example: Pattern recognition, such as identifying faces, is largely inherent.
• Role of environment: Demands minimal learning or external impact.
• Significance: Stresses the intrinsic character of perceptual abilities.
