We define a cognitive system as a system that can learn, and adopt an evolutionary-transition-oriented framework for analysing different types of neural cognition. This enables us to classify …

This opinion paper discusses how (i) recent work shows that the link between learning and evolution is a mathematical equivalence; (ii) accordingly, knowledge from the theory of …
Human brain evolution may be divided into an early phase that is shared among Homo species and included a gradual increase in cranial volume and possibly increased communication …
Many evolutionary psychologists, especially those examining cognitive traits, favor a model of the human brain that supposes a structural and functional circuitry comprised of domain-specific …
Request PDF | Major Evolutionary Transitions in Culture and Cognition: The Anthropocene and Techno-Biotic Cognition | We review evidence that humans are undergoing a major …
In doing so, we hope to encourage new work that keeps evolution in mind: finding equivalencies between particular evolutionary processes and algorithms for inference drawn from statistics …
In this article, we explain how a synthesis between comparative psychology and evolutionary biology allows for unprecedented opportunities to investigate cognitive evolution. We then …
learning, social learning, and, at least in humans, complex culture, alone or in various combinations, to create sophisticated cognitive systems. We begin with a discussion of the …
Evolutionary Cognitive Neuroscience (ECN) integrates comparative neuroscience, archeology, physical anthropology, paleoneurology, cognitive primatology, evolutionary psychology, and …
Only simple comparisons of patterns of change have been described in the experimental evolution literature to date, but using this powerful technique in future studies will allow us to address …
In a different intellectual domain, learning theory links incremental adaptation (e.g., from positive and/or negative reinforcement) to intelligent behaviour. Specifically, learning theory explains …
