Adaptive Memory: Evolutionary Constraints on Remembering (2010, background): “Obtaining this kind of evidence is difficult, if not functionally impossible, for most of the cognitive adaptations of interest to evolutionary psychologists (e.g., see Richardson, 2007).”
AN EVOLUTIONARY SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH TO STUDYING THE EFFECTS OF OSTRACISM (2012, background): “Collecting this kind of evidence is difficult, if not functionally impossible, for most psychological adaptations (e.g., see Richardson, 2007).”
Radical Embodied Cognitive Science (2009, background): “…recent attempt to combine a Darwinian worldview with computational psychology, that is, modern “evolutionary psychology,” a field whose day in the sun seems to have passed without much in the way of lasting scientific value having been generated (see Richardson, 2007, for a trenchant critique).”
An Evolutionarily Informed Education Science (2008, unknown): “The integration of evolutionary theory into the social sciences has been slow and contentious (Richardson, 2007; Segerstrale, 2000) but nevertheless has been successfully used to frame empirical findings and generate testable hypotheses in areas ranging from mate choice to morality (see Buss, 2005).”
