How do natural environments shape adaptive cognition across the lifespan?

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

How does human cognition adapt to idiosyncratic features of our real-world experiences across our lifetimes? The dynamic interaction between individuals and their natural environments is rarely the focus of study within cognitive science, but I argue that a more ecological approach will be critical for advancing developmental science and revealing the adaptive nature of cognition.
