Niche Construction Theory and Archaeology (2010, background): “…from the knowledge that they are part of a much bigger, multidisciplinary initiative that includes social science fields such as philosophy (e.g., Sterelny 2003; Bardone and Magnani 2007; Barker 2008), primatology (e.g., Fragaszy and Visalberghi 2001; Fragaszy and Perry 2003; Flack et al. 2006;…”
The evolution of conformist social learning can cause population collapse in realistically variable environments (2009, background): “If variation is higher at higher frequencies, mechanisms of phenotypic flexibility like learning and social learning evolve to cope with such noise (Sterelny, 2003).”
Revisiting the definition of animal tool use (2008, methodology): “Insights from past research on animal tool use have already influenced the study of the evolution of cognition (Sterelny 2003), human neuropsychology (Maravita & Iriki 2004), human factors and humanecomputer interaction (Baber 2003), robotics (St Amant & Wood 2005; Stoytchev 2005) and philosophy of ”
Institutions, rules, and equilibria: a unified theory* (2014, background): “They do so by adding an intermediate state – a representation of the environment – that they use to condition their behaviour (Sterelny, 2003).”
Defining features versus incidental correlates of Type 1 and Type 2 processing (2012, methodology): “At a certain level of development, decoupling becomes used for so-called meta-representation—thinking about thinking itself (see Dennett 1984; Nichols and Stich 2003; Sperber 2000; Sterelny 2003).”
The Innate Mind: Structure and Contents (2005, background): “The issues discussed in this chapter have been addressed in fruitful ways in particular in Carruthers (chapter 5 here), Samuels (chapter 7 here), Sterelny (2003), and, with novel insights, Barrett (forthcoming).”
Scaffoldings of the affective mind (2015, background): “Niche construction comes in different varieties (Sterelny, 2003, chapter 8).”
Human nature and cognitive–developmental niche construction (2010, background): “…a structured learning environment, in addition cultural and symbolic representations on top of a narrative tradition facilitate concept formation, the acquisition of cultural knowledge, and perceptual adaptations which scaffold the extraction of data from a sea of experiences (Sterelny 2003, 203).”
