View Boris Gindis, Ph.D. Cumulative Cognitive Deficit in international adoptees: its origin, indicators, and means of remediation 8/19/2006 Through direct and mediated learning major cognitive skills and processes are formed and put in action. Deprived of such experiences, children may have problems moving to more advanced levels of learning.
