Misconceptions about adaptive function
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 41:e28 (2018)
Abstract
Mahr & Csibra (M&C) fail to make the important distinction between why a trait originally evolved, why it was maintained over time, and what its current utility is. Here we point out that episodic memory may have originally evolved as a by-product of a general metarepresentational capacity, and that it may have current functions beyond the communicative domain.Author's Profile
