Title

Two Claims for the Construction of Mind

Description

Two claims for the construction of mind, following the model presented by Tooby and Cosmides (1992). (1) A uni- versal building design (one component of the genotype) interacts with the environment to ‘reliably construct’ the ‘evolved architec- ture’ consisting of a number of cognitive mechanisms including, for example, the ‘language acquisition device’. (2) The architecture (presumed universal) interacts selectively with the environment, accepting information specifying diverse cultural competencies such as, for example, the ability to speak English, Japanese or Swahili.
