Abstract Cumulative technological culture is defined as the increase in efficiency and complexity of tools techniques over generations. While role social cognitive skills cultural transmission has been long acknowledged, recent accounts have emphasized that non-social such technical reasoning, a form causal reasoning aimed at understanding physical world, are also work during content. Here we contribute to this double process approach by reporting an fMRI study about neurocognitive origins...
Technology pervades every aspect of our lives, making it crucial to investigate how the human mind deals with it. Here we examine cognitive and neural foundations technological cognition. In first fMRI experiment, participants viewed videos depicting use mechanical tools (e.g., a screwdriver) digital smartphone) compared simple object movements. Results revealed key dissociation: extensively activated dorsal ventro-dorsal visual streams, which are motor- action-oriented brain systems....
Abstract One way to pass on our own causal understanding about how a physical system works is provide verbal explanation it, raising the question of role explanations in transmission and evolution technology. Here we address this by conducting new analyses data collected 3 previously published microsociety studies, which participants organized into chains had improve In 6 conditions reported, were also asked generate technology works. 1 these conditions, transmitted next participant. Our...
Understanding the link between brain evolution and of distinctive features modern human cognition is a fundamental challenge. A still unresolved question concerns co-evolution tool behavior (i.e., use or making) language. The shared neurocognitive processes hypothesis suggests that emergence combinatorial component language skills within frontal lobe/Broca’s area made possible complexification tool-making skills. importance in somewhat surprising with regard to literature on neuropsychology...
