| contents | Children's academic development: Where evolution meets culture David C. Geary Psicología Evolution development academic learning cognitive development Schools are the interface between evolution and culture. They are the contexts in which children's evolved learning and motivational biases intersect with the need to learn the vast array of evolutionarily-novel skills (e.g., reading) and knowledge (e.g., geometric concepts) needed to function as adults in modern societies. The rapid cross-generational accumulation of knowledge during the past several millennia has created a gap between children's evolved learning and motivational biases and the types of learning needed to master evolutionarily-novel skills and knowledge. I provide a brief overview of these evolved learning and motivational biases, and place them in the context of children's learning and motivation to learn in modern-day schools. 2008 artículo científico 0066-5126 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=97017403004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=970 Anuario de Psicología application/pdf Universitat de Barcelona Anuario de Psicología (España) Num.2 Vol.39 |
