Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “As noted by Lewkowicz and Ghazanfar (2009), however, this view is problematic because extra synapses are not widespread throughout the developing brain early in life (Purves, White, & Riddle, 1996; Quartz & Sejnowski, 1997).”
In search of intelligence: evolving a developmental neuron capable of learning (2014, background): “Quartz and Sejnowski (1997) proposed a ‘manifesto’ for the signiﬁcance of neural growth mechanisms in cognitive development.”

All Other Uses, Reproduction and Distribution, including without Limitation Comm (2005, unknown): “Owing to the enormous advances in computer technology and parallel processing, the analysis of complex anisotropic NMR spectra now becomes eminently feasible.”
Neural Bases of Cognitive Development (2007, background): “It was not until the mid-1990s that neurobiology began to be inserted into a discussion of cognitive development, as reflected in Mark Johnson's eloquent contribution to this Handbook's fifth edition (Johnson, 1998).”
The iCub humanoid robot: An open-systems platform for research in cognitive development (2010, background): “Thatis,tofacilitatecontrol, the activation of muscles is therefore organized into functional synergies at the beginning of life (and they are probably formed already prenatally (de Vries, Visser, & Prechtl, 1982)).”
Cultural recycling of cortical maps. (2007, unknown): “…science model’’ shared by many anthropologists, sociologists, and some psychologists (see Barkow et al., 1992; and chapter 2 in Pinker, 2002), but also some neuroscientists who view the cortical surface as ‘‘largely equipotential and free of domain-specific structure’’ (Quartz and Sejnowski, 1997).”
School readiness. Integrating cognition and emotion in a neurobiological conceptualization of children's functioning at school entry. (2002, unknown): “More recently, a constructivist approach to the development of mind has been forwarded to suggest a potentially somewhat larger and more determining role for experience in cortical connectivity (Quartz & Sejnowski, 1997).”
Is the mind really modular (2005, background): “One possibility is that low-level sensory mechanisms are innate (including sense organs, subcortical sensory hubs, and the cytoarchitecture of primary sensory cortices), while high-level sensory mechanisms are acquired through environmental interaction (Quartz and Sejnowski, 1997).”
The relation between theory of mind and rule use: evidence from persons with autism‐spectrum disorders (2002, unknown): “Karmiloff-Smith, 1992; Quartz and Sejnowski, 1994, 1997; Elman et al., 1996).”
Structure-Adaptable Digital Neural Networks (1999, background): “Nevertheless, there is growing evidence that nervous systems follow an environmentally-guided neural circuit building (neural epigenesis) that increases their learning exibility and eliminates the heavy burden that nativism places on genetic mechanisms [164].”
Constructions, Chunking, and Connectionism: The Emergence of Second Language Structure (2008, background): “…do not readily allow for the inheritance of structures which might serve, for instance, as principles or parameters of UG (Elman et al., 1996; Quartz and Sejnowski, 1997). ii Whether there are innate linguistic universals or not, there is still a logical problem of syntactic acquisition.”
Developmental dyslexia in adults : a research review (2004, unknown): “These findings suggested that people are born with a brain rather like a Swiss Army knife, with a modular component for every purpose—an analogy that now seems false (Karmiloff-Smith, 1992; Quartz & Sejnowski, 1997).”
Why the frontal cortex in autism might be talking only to itself: local over-connectivity but long-distance disconnection. (2005, background): “From the neural constructivist perspective [47,48], early neural defects should produce aberrant connectivity and activity, and in turn, such abnormal activity will lead to further abnormal structural development.”
