Perceptual shift in learning suggest that we have used our working, long term and episodic buffer to refine our way of thinking. Is it possible that if those before us could perfect a learning behavior through memory that this learning skill would be innately bound to us?
Furthermore, I ask what are the origins of innate reflexes? Could they be at all tied to our evolution in memory?
It is known that Nature (the Creator) "rest" on the children of genius people. Consequently, children are not inherited by the information accumulated by geniuses. How are new connections formed in chains of neurons in the development of conditioned reflexes? At the heart of new reflexes there is always an unconditioned reflex. Each unconditioned reflex is based on a "rigid" chain of neurons, sensors and effectors. But the main thing is the dynamism of neural networks (not a rigid structure) is the basis of genius thoughts, discoveries, creations.
Dear Taylor Jancetic
HOW ABOUT:
Innately-guided "perceptual shifts" TODAY in human cognitive development (and detectable in directly observable overt behavior patterns, at key times) -- I.E. researchable (testable/verifiable), using modern eye-tracking technology, etc.. Maybe a good place to start exploring that thinking (and empiricism) is HERE:

That link is a good place to start (and it provides links to other writings).
Hi Taylor. Interesting question. Some animals are born with instincts or knowledge, if you will.
Case in point, Monarch butterflies, migrating birds, sharks, etc. They are born with behavioral traits needed for survival that are not learned.
We are also born with traits necessary for survival, but the difference is that we can learn from others through speech and written language. I think this is the defining factor in our evolution.
