  Nativism, as we have seen, is a vigorous program in contemporary cognitive science.  But there is very little talk of Rationalism.   The term is sometimes repurposed as another name for Nativism, and in some cases it is explicitly disowned, with Nativism taken to be the only plank in the original Rationalist platform worth saving.  But following up on our previous discussion, there is a case to be made that this common attitude misses an important and distinctly Rationalist feature of current Core Nativist research.  Here we briefly sketch the key ideas behind this claim.
