- The Phonological Loop (2010, background): “…control hand manipulation, were likely involved in tool making and possibly coevolved with phonological networks in early humans in an interdependent interaction in which vocal communication benefited from developments in tool making and vice versa (Ambrose 2010; see also Aboitiz and Garcı́a 2009).”
- Recognizing Complex Cognition through Innovative Technology in Stone Age and Palaeolithic Sites (2013, background): “The emphasis on the importance of composite tools as one marker of cognitive development is wellfounded because composite artefact manufacture would, as Ambrose (2010) suggests, have placed demands on constructive memory.”
- Tool Learning with Foundation Models (2023, unknown): “This issue is important because the capacity for novel tool creation is a defining characteristic that distinguishes humans from animals (Ambrose, 2010).”
- Craniofacial Feminization, Social Tolerance, and the Origins of Behavioral Modernity (2014, background): “…longrange projectile weapons, grindstones, fishing and birding gear, trapping technology, sophisticated pyrotechnology, and possibly watercraft (Ambrose 1998; Backwell, d’Errico, and Wadley 2008; Brooks et al. 1995, 2005; Brown et al. 2009; Davidson and Noble 1992; d’Errico and Henshilwood…”
