Mapping the Mind: Domain Specificity in Cognition and Culture
Susan a Gelman
Recently, many researchers have concluded that much human thought is `domain-specific'. Thus, the mind is best viewed as a collection of cognitive abilities specialised to handle specific tasks, as opposed to a general problem-solving device which approaches all questions in much the same way. This volume offers a collection of essays exploring how some of these cognitive abilities are organised.
