Domain specific capacities is defined as mental capacities or abilities that are useful for only one task or domain. For example, it would be Domain-specific capacity if the mental capacity responsible for language acquisition were used only to acquire language and nothing else.
Domain-general capacities is defined as mental capacities or abilities that are used for many different tasks and domains. For example, if the ability to detect patterns in input is used for acquiring language and for learning about the physical properties of the world, then pattern detection would be a Domain-general capacity.
