Knowledge Transfer in Deep Block-Modular Neural Networks (2015, background): “This specialization contrasts with the operating principles of the human nervous system, as it is well known that the brain re-uses existing structures when learning a new task [1,6].”
The brain basis of emotion: A meta-analytic review (2012, result): “Instead, the idea of neural re-use (e.g., Anderson 2010) is consistent with the psychological constructionist model of brain–emotion correspondence.”
Sensory marketing, embodiment, and grounded cognition: A review and introduction (2014, background): “From this perspective, what psychologists traditionally referred to as “higher mental processes” is grounded in bodily experience because it reuses phylogenetically older neural circuitry (for a review of supporting evidence, see Anderson, 2010).”
Grade Changes in Brain–Body Allometry: Morphological and Behavioural Correlates of Brain Size in Miniature Spiders, Insects and Other Invertebrates (2011, methodology): “functions; using neuromodulation of networks to produce different outputs from the same neural circuitry (Anderson, 2010; Chittka and Niven, 2009; Katz, 1999); reducing the relative numbers of inter-neurons as opposed to sensory and motor neurons, as is typical in nematodes (Bullock and Horridge,…”
A Moderate Approach to Embodied Cognitive Science (2012, background): “Different cognitive functions will be supported by putting many of the same neural circuits together in different arrangements (Anderson 2010: 248).”
Power Law in Sparsified Deep Neural Networks (2018, neutral): “Biological neural networks are able to learn continually as they evolve over a lifetime [14].”
Embodiment in Social Psychology (2012, background): “Not surprisingly, metaphors figure prominently in social life (for a review, see Landau, Meier, & Keefer, 2010); whether such metaphors are a manifestation (Anderson, 2010; Williams et al., 2009), a reinforcement (Landau et al.”
Consciousness and Moral Responsibility (2015, positive): “Moreover, there is evidence that most brain regions – if not all of them – are constantly redeployed at different stages within and among different cognitive processes (Anderson 2010).”
Consequences of the Now-or-Never bottleneck for signed versus spoken languages (2015, background): “Furthermore, theories of neural reuse (Anderson 2010) point to the massive redeployment of existing mechanisms for new functions, resulting in brain regions coming to be involved in diverse cognitive functions.”
On Natural Attunement: Shared Rhythms Between the Brain and the Environment. (2023, unknown): “…proposal of an operational account of ecological resonance is heavily based on behavioral dynamics , evident in the work of Warren (2006) as well as Anderson ’ s neural reuse (Anderson, 2010), and coordination dynamics (Kelso and Tognoli, 2007) offering an appropriate account at the neuronal level.”
