Whilst acetylcholine has long been linked to memory, there have been significant questions about its specific role. In particular, the effects of cholinergic manipulations in primates and rodents has often been at odds. Here, we review the work in pr...

The concept of cognitive modularity is crucial to our understanding of the architecture of the mind. One view is that psychological processes such as learning, perception, memory, and judgment are domain general such that they are able to interact wi... Read More about Geometric Module..

The relation between spatial and nonspatial learning. (2016)
Book Chapter

This chapter reviews the contents of spatial learning and the conditions under which spatial learning occurs. There is evidence for both S‐R and S‐S associations, with S‐S associations enabling learning based on the relations among stimuli and a repr...

This chapter reviews the development of multisensory control of whole-body movement. The developing interactions between non-visual (e.g. vestibular and proprioceptive) and visual (e.g. optic flow) sensory inputs for whole-body control are discussed....

In its most general form, evolutionary psychology is simply psychology that is properly grounded in evolutionary biology. But most research that falls under the banner of evolutionary psychology might be given a more specific gloss, as the Darwinian...
