Paul-- I find it difficult to interpret your schema without accompanying
text that makes clear your notion of a zoped. In *Cult Psych* I suggest
that the evidence concerning the cognitive and linguistic development of
chimpanzees raised in the wild versus raised in human environments based
on predictable routines (formmats in Bruner's terms) suggests the operation
of an inter-species zoped. Does that fit with your views?
