Evolutionary cognitive psychology (2016)
Authors
Abstract
Peter Todd, Ralph Hertwig, and Urlich Hoffrage provide a fascinating evolutionary psychological analysis of the field of cognitive psychology. They show how fresh insights into traditional topics--attention, information representation, memory, forgetting, inference, judgment, heuristics, biases, and decision making--can be informed by evolutionary analysis. Reciprocally, they show how advances in cognitive psychology greatly aid evolutionary analyses. Todd, Hertwig, and Hoffrage provide compelling arguments that benefits of the merger flow both ways, since traditional cognitive psychology also has much to offer evolutionary psychology.
