The trained into/not trained out of distinction is an interesting one, and I think it would take a lot of close observation to figure out which of those is dominant.
I think it's just a matter of where to draw the baseline on the map, rather than a question about the territory -- after all feral children don't show that much interest in clothes, do they? so children mostly “learn” whether or not to be interested in clothes from their environment -- but OTOH it's still an empirical question how much of the teaching is deliberate.
