Primes¶
- Enculturation
- Enculturation manages this complexity by: (1) agent specialization — different people transmit different elements (mothers handle early nurture; crafts specialists teach skills; elders transmit history); (2) role-based selection — individuals acquire specialized knowledge relevant to their role (a farmer acquires agricultural knowledge, a priest acquires ritual knowledge); (3) developmental staging — cultural knowledge is released developmentally (complex moral reasoning comes later in childhood; occupational skills come in adolescence and adulthood); (4) implicit patterning — much cultural knowledge is implicit in habitual practices, so the person does not need to consciously store it but can deploy it automatically
This sourceConnectionist account of how cultural meanings are internalized, represented, and deployed — supports the implicit-patterning claim that much cultural knowledge is deployed automatically without conscious storage (D29-104).
