“If the baby ignores this force of Dynamic Quality [the flux of experience]
it can be speculated that he will become mentally retarded,
but if he is normally attentive to Dynamic Quality he will soon
begin to notice differences and then correlations between the differences
and then repetitive patterns of the correlations.
But it is not until the baby is several months old that he will begin
to really understand enough about that enormously complex correlation
of sensations and boundaries and desires called an object
to be able to reach for one.”
(Lila p.119, chapter 9, just past the first use of the hot stove example)
This is a good theory: while the infant's brain is undeveloped, its experience
is undifferentiated. But once the brain is developed
& has acquired language, what reason is there to think a person still has
undifferentiated experience?
