	abstract = {<p>Reflecting the focus of a Jean Piaget Symposium entitled Biology and Knowledge: Structural Constraints on Development, this volume presents many of the emergent themes discussed. Among them:* Structural constraints on cognitive development and learning come in many shapes and forms and involve appeal to more than one level of analysis.* To postulate innate knowledge is not to deny that humans can acquire new concepts.* It is unlikely that there is only one learning mechanism, even if one prefers to work with general as opposed to domain-specific mechanisms.* The problems of induction with respect to concept acquisition are even harder than originally thought.Biological contributions to cognition -- Lessons from animal learning for the study of cognitive development / C.R.
