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).

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
