IV. PARALLELISM BETWEEN PIAGET AND SKINNER A profound analysis of Piaget's ideas will reveal the basic similarity between his reductionist view and behaviorist paradigm. A version of "tabula rasa" can easily be detected in this modern version of behaviorism. Here are some interesting remarks of a former Piagetian: At this juncture I shall risk some of my colleagues at the Geneva University by suggesting that Piaget and behaviorism have much in common....Neither the Piagetian nor the behaviorist theory grants the infant any innate structures or domain-specific knowledge. Each grants only domain-general, biologically specified processes ....These domain-general learning processes are held to apply across all areas of linguistic and nonlinguistic cognition. Piaget and the behaviorists thus concur on a number of conceptions about the initial state of the infant mind. The behaviorists saw the infant as a tabula rasa with no built-in knowledge...; Piaget's view of the young infant as assailed by 'undifferentiated and choatic' inputs is substantially the same.
