    This document contains 6 questions about the theory of Neural Constructivism from a cognition and science education course. The questions cover topics like the distinction between biological maturation and learning, measures of change in representational complexity, the two underlying themes of Neural Constructivism, the differences between axons and dendrites, opinions on dendrite growth and learning, and whether domain specific knowledge is built into cortical structures.

    Neural Constructivism

    1. The distinction between biological maturation (the brain unfolding


    according to its intrinsic schedule) and learning breaks down. Why is this
    so according to Quartz and Sejnowksi? (>p.2)

    2. Currency of change is representations.. (p.3). What are the possible


    measures of this change in representational complexity?

    3. What are the two themes that underpin the theory of Neural
    Constructivism? (p.4)

    4. How are axons and dendrites different? (p. 17)

    5. What is your opinion about dendrite growth and learning? (p. 25-26)

    6. Do you think that domain specific knowledge is built into cortical


    structures? (p.30)
