The implications of neural reuse for the future of both cognitive neuroscience and folk psychology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 June 2016
Abstract
If neural reuse is true, then: (1) fully escaping phrenology will eventually require an even less brain-centric and mechanistic cognitive neuroscience that focuses on relations and interactions between brain, body, and environment at many different scales and levels across both space and time, and (2) although scientific psychology must be heavily revised, the autonomy and irreducibility of folk psychology are assured.
