- A feral child is a human child who has lived isolated from human contact from a very young age.
- A feral child is a human child who has lived isolated from human contact from a very young age, and has no (or little) experience of human care, loving or social behavior, and, crucially, of human language.
- Some feral children have been confined in isolation by other people, usually their own parents.
- In reality, feral children lack the basic social skills that are normally learned in the process of enculturation.

- Social psychology studies individuals in a social context and examines how situational variables influence behavior.

- Together they produce a product and, as a group, impose meaning on it through the social learning process.
- Idea-based social constructivism: Idea-based social constructivism sets education's priority on important concepts in the various disciplines (e.g. part-whole relations in mathematics, photosynthesis in science, and point of view in literature, Gredler, 1997, p.59; Prawat, 1995; Prawat & Folden, 1994).
- Pragmatic or emergent approach: Social constructivists with this perspective assert that the implementation of social constructivism in class should be emergent as the need arises (Gredler, 1997).
- Learning thus should not take place in isolation from the environment.
