The author writes "Human children don’t need such explicit and extensive training to learn to recognize a household pet."
This claim seems dubious. Study's have shown humans can react to visual stimuli in as little as 1-3ms. If a child observes a cat in the room for only 10 seconds, that's already between 3,000 to 10,000 samples from various perspectives. While our human experience may describe this as a single viewing 'instance', our neurons are actually getting an extensive, continuous training. Is this accounted for in the literature?
