Parasites, Behavioral Defenses, and the Social Psychological Mechanisms Through Which Cultures Are Evoked (2006, background): “These answers take us beyond the observations of zoology and behavioral ecology and deep into the realms of functional genomics and developmental biology (e.g., Hofman, 2003; Godwin et al., 2003; for a discussion of applications to human cognition, see Marcus, 2004 ).”
Liberals and conservatives rely on different sets of moral foundations. (2009, background): “We take our understanding of innateness from Marcus (2004), who stated that innate “does not mean unmalleable; it means organized in advance of experience.””
The Importance of Neurophysiological Constraints for Modelling the Emergence of Modularity (background): “…by fMRI studies (e.g., Huettel, Song, & McCarthy, 2004; Binder, et al., 2005), and many large scale “modules” are now thought to consist of collections of lower level modules, some of which are actually used more widely (e.g., Duncan & Owen, 2000; Duncan, 2001; Bookheimer, 2002; Marcus 2004).”
Modularity in cognition: framing the debate. (2006, background): “THEORETICAL NOTE remaining the same (Marcus, 2004).”
Moral psychology for the twenty-first century (2013, background): “Innate means ‘structured in advance of experience’ (Marcus, 2004), but experience can suppress, alter or magnify the importance of a foundation.”
The Innate Mind: Structure and Contents (2005, background): “Moreover, neuroconstructivism and nativism can also be entirely complementary, as much of the data championed by neuroconstructivists either does not speak directly to nativists’ claims or can be accommodated within the nativist program (see, e.g., Marcus, 1998, 2004, chapter 2 here; Samuels, 1998).”
Mapping the Moral Domain (2011, background): “Even if all moral systems are social constructions, they are constructed by people whose minds are not at all like blank slates (Marcus, 2004).”
The Biological Implausibility of the Nature-Nurture Dichotomy & What It Means for the Study of Infancy (2011, methodology): “In this quest, nativists believe that evolution has endowed the human species with something like primitives, core cognitive capacities, or principles that are directly related to specific domains of knowledge including language, object, number, geometry, space, social relations, morality, and relig”
Are Political Orientations Genetically Transmitted? (2005, background): “Arguments about the relative degree of shared environmental effects between MZ and DZ twins simply offer no credible explanation if the twins in question have been raised apart (Bouchard 1998; Bouchard et al. 1990).”
Understanding the Emergence of Modularity in Neural Systems (2007, background): “…but tightly clustered and interconnected modules with unique contributions” (Bookheimer, 2002, p. 152), and that many supposed “language regions” in the brain are not actually specific to language, but involve lower level processes that are used more widely (Bookheimer, 2002; Marcus, 2004, p. 129).”
