The Phonological Loop (2010, background): “We cannot establish with clarity when and in which species this loop became functional, but we propose that this process was closely associated with brain expansion (particularly in temporo-parietal regions; see Bruner 2010, in this issue), acquiring its maximal development in Homo sapiens sapiens.”
Extending mind, visuospatial integration, and the evolution of the parietal lobes in the human genus (2016, background): “The coordinate systems from the inner (mostly proprioceptive) and outer (mostly visual) environments are integrated according to attention, saliency filters, and relational concepts, in order to simulate an “inner virtual space” (see Bruner, 2010a for a review).”
DIFFUSION-WEIGHTED IMAGING TRACTOGRAPHY-BASED PARCELLATION OF THE HUMAN PARIETAL CORTEX AND COMPARISON WITH HUMAN AND MACAQUE RESTING STATE FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY (2011, result): “The central IPL region is an important one to be considered in any attempt to account for the distinctive expansion of parietal cortex seen in humans even when comparison with other hominids (Bruner, 2010).”
Coevolution of Composite‐Tool Technology, Constructive Memory, and Language (2010, background): “The FPPC is proportionately larger in humans than in apes and is considered to be one of the most recently evolved areas of the human brain (Burgess, Gilbert, and Dumontheil 2007; Holloway 2002; Semendeferi et al. 2001; however, see Bruner 2010, in this issue).”
An Evolutionary Anthropological Perspective on Modern Human Origins (2015, background): “The brain shapes of Neanderthals and modern humans differ significantly with modern human brains having a uniquely globular shape and enlarged parietal lobes (Bruner 2010) as a derived feature while Neanderthal brain shape resembles the primitive condition in Asian H. erectus (Balzeau et al 2012).”
Numerosity, Abstraction, and the Emergence of Symbolic Thinking (2012, background): “…account the possible involvement of these areas in simulation, mental experiments, and the generation of a virtual world through the eye-hand “ports” (Bruner 2010), it seems reasonable to suggest that many numerosity functions can be directly related to the networks of the parietal areas (mental…”
