...This chapter explores the neural basis of particular symptoms rather than the patho-physiology of schizophrenia in general. An essential component of this exploration is an attempt to formulate cognitive mechanisms for the production of particular symptoms, rather than simply observing associations...

... with others. More sophisticated social interactions that involve imitation, joint attention, joint action, mind reading, or verbal communication require additional cognitive mechanisms. This chapter specifies how different cognitive functions could control and interact with mirroring in order to enable...

...This article examines the relevance of grammaticalisation to language evolution. It discusses the evolution of language, the pathways of grammaticalisation, the cognitive basis of grammaticalisation, and protolanguage and pre-linguistic communication. The analysis reveals that cognitive mechanisms...

... to synthesize a coherent conclusion. It notes that the cognitive mechanisms are complex, obscure, and prone to error. It describes common biases and argues that both cognitive and affective bias are potent sources of error. The chapter proposes that the model of diagnostic reasoning implicit in traditional...

.... This leads to a comparison of the cognitive study of science and the psychology of science, which study how fundamental cognitive mechanisms operate in the context of generating scientific knowledge. There is, however, a second way humans use their psychological powers in the pursuit of knowledge, namely...

... region is famous for a good reason: As language is one of the most distinctive human traits, the cognitive mechanisms that support it and the tissues in which these mechanisms are housed are also quite complex, and so have the potential to reveal a lot not only about how words, phrases, sentences...

... the chapters together, and this is the underlying approach of relating cognitive mechanisms to animal ecology and evolution. This final chapter also talks about what is missing from this discussion and looks towards future directions. Overall, it can stated that the major challenge facing future work...

...This chapter comments on the discussion in Chapter 22. Although it largely agrees with the chapter's notion of shared resource networks, it points out that little research has analysed in detail which cognitive mechanisms are shared between the two domains. It describes some of the processes...

... theory. It aims to identify facial qualities that inform social perceptions and reflect the zeitgeist at the time in social psychology. The emphasis is on understanding the cognitive mechanisms engaged in social perception, and this is typically accomplished by providing information about social...

... is the claim that evolution, through natural selection, will select for cognitive mechanisms that generate true beliefs. The second part posits a connection between rationality and the use of mechanisms that produce true beliefs. The chapter argues that the evolutionary argument fails to provide support...

... two different levels — appraisals can involve complex judgements about the environment, but can also take place at a ‘lower’ level at which they completely bypass cognitive mechanisms, and often conflict with cognitions. However, the chapter argues that the relationship between lower-level emotions...

...Chapter 9 tackles questions concerning the apparently variable distribution and relevance of spirit concepts and possession (e.g. the high degree of women's participation relative to men's participation in possession cults). Taking some of the necessary cognitive mechanisms for the emergence...

... are epistemically tractable. In order to do this, the chapter points to evidence that we have cognitive mechanisms that facilitate the reliable detection of these relations. These are the correlation detection mechanism, the interventional affordance detection mechanism, and the causal/dependence filtration...

...This chapter presents a response to the commentaries in Chapters 23–25. It discusses the importance of specifying cognitive mechanisms, the importance of advanced neuroimaging techniques, and the importance of integrating theory and empirical data. aphasia behavioural models studies Broca's...

...This chapter describes neuroimaging as a tool for functionally decomposing cognitive processes. It looks into neuroimaging’s contribution to understanding and explaining cognitive mechanisms, and discusses the use and abuse of neuroimaging. The chapter presents a critique of neuroimaging studies...

The chapter concludes with an explanation of the relation between natural selection and cognitive development that is responsive to innate modules and compatible with an evolutionary description of specialized and independent cognitive mechanisms in adult organisms.
