Evolutionary theory meets cognitive psychology: A more selective perspective
Mind and Language 13 (2):171-94 (1998)
| Abstract | Quite unexpectedly, cognitive psychologists find their field intimately connected to a whole new intellectual landscape that had previously seemed remote, unfamiliar, and all but irrelevant. Yet the proliferating connections tying together the cognitive and evolutionary communities promise to transform both fields, with each supplying necessary principles, methods, and a species of rigor that the other lacks.
