Metarepresentations in an evolutionary perspective
In [Book Chapter] (in Press). Oxford University Press (2000)
Abstract
Humans are expert users of metarepresentations. How has this human metarepresentational capacity evolved? In order to contribute to the ongoing debate on this question, the chapter focuses on three more specific issues: i. How do humans metarepresent representations? ii. What came first: language, or metarepresentations? iii. Do humans have more than one metarepresentational ability?Author's Profile
