Mark Johnson argues that the core knowledge approach oversimplifies infants' cognitive abilities and instead suggests that infants have soft biases that influence how they perceive and learn about the world. He maintains that these biases are shaped by both genetics and environmental experiences, and that infants' cognitive development is a complex interplay between nature and nurture. Thus, option B captures the essence of Johnson's critique of the core knowledge approach. Option A describes a core tenet of the core knowledge approach, while options C and D seem to be oversimplifications that do not fully capture Johnson's critique.
