The experience of the location in which we grow, and the people in the close environment that enable us to develop the ability to communicate, learn, think and process facts. Where we experience relationships with siblings, neighbors, people close by but not necessarily intimate, like teachers, etc. and early educational experiences. The clarity with which we perceive other people and the messages we receive from them. The capacity and drive to explore the immediate world around us for information and intellectual confirmation. Our manual and mental dexterity and skills base. The nervous reactions to the world and the messages implanted in early childhood about the world and personal environment. Everything that affects us intellectually from the outside world and changes our mental image of that world.
