It seems to me that one of the few conclusions Socrates and Meno agree upon in that dialogue is what is generally recognized as Plato's theory of innate knowledge. Socrates argues that everyone has access to all true knowledge but that they just need some help 'remembering'. He demonstrates this by getting one of Meno's slaves to deduce a geometric truth with the help of some drawings.
