Human tool cognition relies on teleology
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 43 (2020)
Abstract
Osiurak and Reynaud's account of human tool cognition misses key element: human capacity for functional representations and teleological inferences. I argue that the teleofunctional approach accounts better for some features of human tool cognition and points to a viable candidate for the cognitive “difference-maker” behind human technological success.My notes
