Visuospatial Behaviour and Cognitive Archaeology : 7. The evolution of the parietal lobes in the genus Homo: the fossil evidence / Emiliano Bruner -- 8. Parietal lobe expansion, its consequences for working memory, and the evolution of modern thinking / Frederick L. Coolidge -- 9. Experimental neuroarchaeology of visuospatial behavior / Dietrich Stout -- 10. Cognitive archaeology, attention, and visual behavior / María Silva-Gago and Emiliano Bruner -- 11. Handling prehistory: tools, electrophysiology, and haptics / Annapaola Fedato and Emiliano Bruner -- 12. A comparative approach to evaluating the biomechanical complexity of the freehand knapping swing / Erin Marie Williams-Hatala and Neil T. Roach -- 13. Psychometrics, visuospatial abilities, and cognitive archaeology / Emiliano Bruner, María Silva-Gago, Annapaola Fedato, Manuel Martín-Loeches and Roberto Colom 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--back cover |
