Hosszú leírás:

Cognitive Archaeology, Body Cognition, and the Evolution of Visuospatial Perception offers a multidisciplinary and comprehensive perspective on the evolution of the visuospatial ability in the human genus. It presents current topics in cognitive sciences and prehistoric archaeology, to provide a bridge between evolutionary anthropology and neurobiology.

This book explores how body perception and spatial sensing may have evolved in humans, as to enhance a "prosthetic capacity” able to integrate the brain, body, and technological elements into a single functional system. It includes chapters on touch and haptics, peripersonal space, parietal lobe evolution, somatosensory integration, neuroarchaeology, visual behavior, attention, and psychometrics.

Cognitive Archaeology, Body Cognition, and the Evolution of Visuospatial Perception represents an essential resource for evolutionary biologists, anthropologists, archaeologists, and neuroscientists who are interested in the role of body perception and spatial ability in human cognition.




  • Addresses the role of body perception and sensing in human evolution
  • Supplies a comprehensive overview on the cognitive mechanisms associated with the integration between brain, body and tools
  • Offers a bridge between evolutionary anthropology, archaeology, and cognitive sciences
Tartalomjegyzék:

Section I: Visuospatial cognition and evolution

  1. Somatosensation and body perception: the integration of afferent signals in multisensory cognitive processes

  2. Perception by effortful touch and a lawful approach to (the evolution of) perceiving and acting

  3. Evolutionary perspective on peripersonal space and perception

  4. The body in the world: tools and somato-centric maps in the primate brain

  5. Parietal cortex and cumulative technological culture

  6. Body-tool integration: past, present, and future

    7. Section II: Visuospatial behavior and cognitive archaeology

  7. The evolution of the parietal lobes in the genus Homo: the fossil evidence

  8. Parietal Lobe Expansion, its Consequences for Working Memory, and the Evolution of Modern Thinking

  9. Experimental neuroarchaeology of visuospatial behavior

  10. Cognitive archaeology, attention and visual behaviour

  11. Handling prehistory: tools, electrophysiology and haptics

  12. A comparative approach to evaluating the biomechanical complexity of the freehand knapping swing

  13. Psychometrics, visuospatial capacity and cognitive archaeology
