Based on the Annual Symposium of the Jean Piaget Society, Biology
and Knowledge Revisited focuses on the classic issue of the
relationship between nature and nurture in cognitive and linguistic
development, and their neurological substrates. Contributors trace
the history of ideas concerning the relationship between evolution
and development, and bring powerful new conceptual systems and
research data to bear on understanding the problem of
experience-contingent brain development and evolution. They focus
on processes of phenotype construction - which fill the gap between
genes and behavior - and demonstrate that evolutionary
psychological models of innate mental modules are incompatible with
what is known about these processes. This book presents exciting
new approaches to the development and evolution of cognitive and
linguistic abilities. Returning to the broad evolutionary theme of
a previous meeting, the symposium focused on specifically
constructivist approaches to neurogenesis and language acquisition,
and their evolution. It was organized around ideas about the
relationship between development and evolution raised in Piaget's
books. Research in this arena has yielded cutting-edge insight into
behavioral influences on brain plasticity. Two of its subthemes run
throughout - a critique of modularity models popular among
evolutionary psychologies and the prescient yet flawed nature of
Piaget's critique of the modern synthesis of evolution. As a
result, Biology and Knowledge Revisited is intended for
developmental psychologists, psycholinguists, biological
anthropologists, evolutionary psychologists, and philosophers of
science.
