The field of evolutionary cognitive psychology has stimulated
considerable interest and debate among cognitive psychologists and
those working in related areas. In this collection, leading experts
evaluate the status of this new field, providing a critical
analysis of its most controversial hypotheses. These hypotheses
have far reaching implications for cognition, including a modular
view of the mind, which rejects, in its extreme form, any general
learning or reasoning abilities. Some evolutionary psychologists
have also proposed content-dependent accounts of conditional
reasoning and probability judgements, which in turn have
significant, and equally controversial, implications about the
nature of human reasoning and decision making. The contributions
range from those that are highly critical of the hypotheses to
those that support and develop them. The result is a uniquely
balanced, cutting-edge evaluation of the field that will be of
interest to psychologists, philosophers and those in related
subjects who wish to find out what evolutionary considerations can,
and cannot, tell us about the human mind.
