After the completion of these studies, I moved to the Institute for Archaeological Sciences of the University of Tübingen (Germany), where I completed a PhD in the field of cognitive anthropology/archaeology. Currently, I am a post-doctoral fellow for the Gerda Henkel Foundation. My massive multidisciplinary approach employs a combination of phenomenology, cognitive science, semiotics, and anthropology to study how human cognition emerged from deep time to present as a result of a long-term process of cognitive transformation scaffolded by artifacts and social practices, rather than as a series of fixed biological adaptations to ancestral environments. In particular, I am contributing to the formulation of the new paradigm of Radical Enactive Cognitive Archaeology (RECA). Grounded on a combination of radical enactivism, postphenomenology, and material engagement theory, this approach attempts at identifying the material conditions for cognitive transformation from non-representational to scaffolded and language-based minds within the archaeological record of ancient hominins. Apart from research, I am currently learning and practicing digital painting with interactive tablets, which I also use to illustrate my academic papers.<br /><span

In this article, we challenge the NMRT as a phylogenetic and ontogenetic account of the development of the socio-cognitive capacities of our species. In detail, we argue that basic capacities of social cognition (e.g., the traces of early systems of bodily ornamentation within the archeological record, and infants’ selective attention at others’ beliefs in spontaneous-response false belief tasks) do not involve meta-representational mindreading but are better explained by appealing to situated embodied capacities acquired in social interaction. While we acknowledge that more flexible capacities of social cognition (e.g., those implied by the use of political emblems in industrialized societies, or by 4-year-olds’ success in elicited-response false belief tasks) involve genuine mindreading, we argue that this ability is elicited and scaffolded by linguistic communication. We conclude that mindreading has emerged as the outcome of a highly derivative long-term constructivist process of biocultural becoming that led to a relatively recent restructuring of the human mind in multiple worldly locations at different times. In particular, we conjecture that humans gradually converged on establishing linguistic practices allowing the understanding of others’ actions in terms of mental reasons. These practices were bequeathed to further generations, and continue nowadays to scaffold the acquisition of mindreading in early childhood.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="5d6db3590b7c8cbf11fcea8ffc6b2729" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":55230167,"asset_id":35369969,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/55230167/download_file?st=MTczMjkwMTc0Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="35369969"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="35369969"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 35369969; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=35369969]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=35369969]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 35369969; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='35369969']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 35369969, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "5d6db3590b7c8cbf11fcea8ffc6b2729" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=35369969]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":35369969,"title":"The biocultural emergence of mindreading: Integrating cognitive archaeology and human development","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"According to the thesis of natural mindreading (NMRT), mindreading—i.e., the capacity to attribute mental states to predict and explain behavior—is an intrinsic component of the human biological endowment, thus being innately specified by natural selection within particular neurocognitive structures.

Recently, some approaches in this domain have further enforced this view, by arguing that artifacts are passive means to broadcast/perpetuate meanings that are thoroughly internal to the mind. These meanings are conveyed either in the form of a Language of Thought, constituted by sub-personal, content-bearing mental representations, or in that of a natural language. In both cases, however, material culture stands as the physical derivative of computations run over representations, which include abstract concepts, semantic relationships, and meta-representations about intensional states, a conception hereby indicated as “representational apriorism”. In this paper, I will argue that such mentalistic models are plagued by the fundamental problems of content, substance, and origin, which affect the representational substrates required for the production of artifacts.

We demonstrated that the ability of capuchins to match novel stimuli was improved by increasing the number of stimuli used during training (Experiments 1 and 2) and that after a widely applicable identity concept based on the stimulus shape was acquired, the capuchins were able to match stimuli according to an identity rule based on both the colour and size of the stimuli and when the spatial arrangement of the stimuli was varied (Experiment 2).

Therefore, analogical reasoning can emerge in monkeys under specific training conditions.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/33379366/Same_Different_Concept_Learning_by_Capuchin_Monkeys_in_Matching_to_Sample_Tasks","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2017-06-08T07:35:30.698-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":54596739,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[{"id":29264103,"work_id":33379366,"tagging_user_id":54596739,"tagged_user_id":65373139,"co_author_invite_id":1859041,"email":"v***a@istc.cnr.it","display_order":-2,"name":"Valentina Truppa","title":"Same/Different Concept Learning by Capuchin Monkeys in Matching-to-Sample Tasks"},{"id":29264454,"work_id":33379366,"tagging_user_id":54596739,"tagged_user_id":65316874,"co_author_invite_id":6356455,"email":"e***i@gmail.com","display_order":-1,"name":"Eva Piano Mortari","title":"Same/Different Concept Learning by Capuchin Monkeys in Matching-to-Sample Tasks"},{"id":29264327,"work_id":33379366,"tagging_user_id":54596739,"tagged_user_id":3511954,"co_author_invite_id":null,"email":"s***4@hotmail.it","display_order":1,"name":"Sara Privitera","title":"Same/Different Concept Learning by Capuchin Monkeys in Matching-to-Sample Tasks"},{"id":29264104,"work_id":33379366,"tagging_user_id":54596739,"tagged_user_id":13108137,"co_author_invite_id":null,"email":"e***i@istc.cnr.it","display_order":2,"name":"Elisabetta Visalberghi","title":"Same/Different Concept Learning by Capuchin Monkeys in Matching-to-Sample Tasks"}],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Same_Different_Concept_Learning_by_Capuchin_Monkeys_in_Matching_to_Sample_Tasks","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":54596739,"first_name":"Duilio","middle_initials":"","last_name":"Garofoli","page_name":"DuilioGarofoli","domain_name":"uni-tuebingen1","created_at":"2016-10-06T09:30:03.780-07:00","display_name":"Duilio Garofoli","url":"https://uni-tuebingen1.academia.edu/DuilioGarofoli"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":32011,"name":"Comparative psychology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Comparative_psychology"},{"id":68952,"name":"Primate Cognition","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Primate_Cognition"},{"id":545220,"name":"Abstract Concepts","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Abstract_Concepts"}],"urls":[{"id":8162509,"url":"http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0023809\u0026type=printable"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="33379277"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/33379277/15_Ornamental_Feathers_without_Mentalism_A_Radical_Enactive_View_on_Neanderthal_Body_Adornment"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of 15 Ornamental Feathers without Mentalism: A Radical Enactive View on Neanderthal Body Adornment" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/33379277/15_Ornamental_Feathers_without_Mentalism_A_Radical_Enactive_View_on_Neanderthal_Body_Adornment">15 Ornamental Feathers without Mentalism: A Radical Enactive View on Neanderthal Body Adornment</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Neanderthals were a species of the genus Homo closely related to Homo sapiens, living between cir...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Neanderthals were a species of the genus Homo closely related to Homo sapiens, living between circa 250 and 38 ka.

In this comment I shall argue that the reasons why linear models are problematic are not those proposed by Langbroek but rather lie in weaknesses in the way in which arguments based on models have generally been constructed. Top-down and bottom-up approaches in CA should not be viewed as in opposition, but rather as making complementary contributions within the generation of well-formed families of models. The real problem with linear models arises when flawed theories of behavioral systems are improperly mapped onto mental systems, on the basis of arbitrary rules of connection and unsubstantiated assumptions. Neglecting reference to precise analytic categories is a particularly crucial problem in CA, and this applies also with some aspects of Langbroek's argument. To highlight and overcome these issues with the author's original formulation, I shall suggest the formulation be augmented by implementing some recently introduced epistemic tools for CA.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="33378979"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="33378979"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 33378979; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=33378979]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=33378979]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 33378979; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='33378979']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 33378979, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=33378979]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":33378979,"title":"Comment on “Trees and ladders: A critique of the theory of human cognitive and behavioural evolution in palaeolithic archaeology” by Langbroek, M.

Recently, Henshilwood and Dubreuil (Current Anthropology 52:361–400, 2011) have supported this stance by arguing that the use of beads and body painting implies the presence of properties typical of modern cognition: high-level theory of mind and awareness of abstract social standards. In this paper I shall disagree with this position. For the purposes of the argument, body ornaments are divided in three categories: aesthetic, indexical and fully-symbolic, on the basis of the necessary and sufficient conditions to construct meaning for each category. As previously acknowledged by a number of authors, I will argue that the abilities considered by Henshilwood & Dubreuil necessarily apply only to fully symbolic ornaments and they do not extend to the aesthetic and indexical categories. Indeed, a series of situated strategies can be sufficient to process non-symbolic categories of ornaments, through their phases of initiation, understanding and maintenance. Since these strategies could be implemented also by non-modern cognitive architectures, it is concluded that early body ornaments are currently unable to support cognitive equivalence between primitive and modern human populations.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="33378057"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="33378057"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 33378057; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=33378057]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=33378057]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 33378057; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='33378057']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 33378057, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=33378057]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":33378057,"title":"Do early body ornaments prove cognitive modernity?

The explanations advanced here are nonetheless consistent with a set of classic and innovative theories in cognitive archaeology.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/33364616/A_Radical_Embodied_Approach_to_Lower_Palaeolithic_Spear_making","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2017-06-07T07:03:12.226-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":54596739,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":53421578,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/53421578/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"2015_Garofoli_REC_spears_manuscript.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/53421578/download_file?st=MTczMjkwMTc0Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"A_Radical_Embodied_Approach_to_Lower_Pal.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/53421578/2015_Garofoli_REC_spears_manuscript-libre.pdf?1496844346=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DA_Radical_Embodied_Approach_to_Lower_Pal.pdf\u0026Expires=1732905342\u0026Signature=bnVRFqdAcHA8i1zCUiApzs-u9MRKRahNMfe-AsQ2Mfwd3tYZzeRPXcjmaQFYzxxkMASimHNr-r9Oyz4jXHEoqJO5oLMwDzxK9bCwz-uxeAdmFc387vxGTyIEyEU7ZR2Jt6u~jzpipx9EUYe14~NRvF5fyieJ4snh3JSbEQvVWn7CnAl5Hhtcl8r5URJ1dm2aBUbYZz3jM3G-UXMTEJg~7TYtHrgOaZTnGLcuFuBoJhXMiMRGX9TT0lvSWhPhp-KruFQDPOpIe0lToRzRqRThDr2Sy7jVv6WLJWz03eiyqIEmBs1h78j8Pk7XGM7mzOAve~wAJ7I0Sb2wMHoE5yl7XA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"A_Radical_Embodied_Approach_to_Lower_Palaeolithic_Spear_making","translated_slug":"","page_count":20,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":54596739,"first_name":"Duilio","middle_initials":"","last_name":"Garofoli","page_name":"DuilioGarofoli","domain_name":"uni-tuebingen1","created_at":"2016-10-06T09:30:03.780-07:00","display_name":"Duilio Garofoli","url":"https://uni-tuebingen1.academia.edu/DuilioGarofoli"},"attachments":[{"id":53421578,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/53421578/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"2015_Garofoli_REC_spears_manuscript.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/53421578/download_file?st=MTczMjkwMTc0Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"A_Radical_Embodied_Approach_to_Lower_Pal.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/53421578/2015_Garofoli_REC_spears_manuscript-libre.pdf?1496844346=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DA_Radical_Embodied_Approach_to_Lower_Pal.pdf\u0026Expires=1732905342\u0026Signature=bnVRFqdAcHA8i1zCUiApzs-u9MRKRahNMfe-AsQ2Mfwd3tYZzeRPXcjmaQFYzxxkMASimHNr-r9Oyz4jXHEoqJO5oLMwDzxK9bCwz-uxeAdmFc387vxGTyIEyEU7ZR2Jt6u~jzpipx9EUYe14~NRvF5fyieJ4snh3JSbEQvVWn7CnAl5Hhtcl8r5URJ1dm2aBUbYZz3jM3G-UXMTEJg~7TYtHrgOaZTnGLcuFuBoJhXMiMRGX9TT0lvSWhPhp-KruFQDPOpIe0lToRzRqRThDr2Sy7jVv6WLJWz03eiyqIEmBs1h78j8Pk7XGM7mzOAve~wAJ7I0Sb2wMHoE5yl7XA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":15180,"name":"Philosophy of Cognitive Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Philosophy_of_Cognitive_Science"},{"id":15331,"name":"Cognitive archaeology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cognitive_archaeology"},{"id":91636,"name":"Paleolithic Archaeology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Paleolithic_Archaeology"},{"id":362853,"name":"Embodied and Enactive Cognition","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Embodied_and_Enactive_Cognition"},{"id":820836,"name":"Radical Enactivism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radical_Enactivism"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

In this article, we challenge the NMRT as a phylogenetic and ontogenetic account of the development of the socio-cognitive capacities of our species. In detail, we argue that basic capacities of social cognition (e.g., the traces of early systems of bodily ornamentation within the archeological record, and infants’ selective attention at others’ beliefs in spontaneous-response false belief tasks) do not involve meta-representational mindreading but are better explained by appealing to situated embodied capacities acquired in social interaction. While we acknowledge that more flexible capacities of social cognition (e.g., those implied by the use of political emblems in industrialized societies, or by 4-year-olds’ success in elicited-response false belief tasks) involve genuine mindreading, we argue that this ability is elicited and scaffolded by linguistic communication. We conclude that mindreading has emerged as the outcome of a highly derivative long-term constructivist process of biocultural becoming that led to a relatively recent restructuring of the human mind in multiple worldly locations at different times. In particular, we conjecture that humans gradually converged on establishing linguistic practices allowing the understanding of others’ actions in terms of mental reasons.

These practices were bequeathed to further generations, and continue nowadays to scaffold the acquisition of mindreading in early childhood.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/35369969/The_biocultural_emergence_of_mindreading_Integrating_cognitive_archaeology_and_human_development","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2017-12-07T08:48:29.829-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":43824,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[{"id":30754646,"work_id":35369969,"tagging_user_id":43824,"tagged_user_id":54596739,"co_author_invite_id":null,"email":"d***o@gmail.com","affiliation":"University of Tübingen","display_order":1,"name":"Duilio Garofoli","title":"The biocultural emergence of mindreading: Integrating cognitive archaeology and human development"}],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":55230167,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/55230167/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Fenici__Garofoli_-_The_biocultural_emergence_of_mindreading.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/55230167/download_file?st=MTczMjkwMTc0Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_biocultural_emergence_of_mindreading.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/55230167/Fenici__Garofoli_-_The_biocultural_emergence_of_mindreading-libre.pdf?1512666712=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_biocultural_emergence_of_mindreading.pdf\u0026Expires=1732851000\u0026Signature=D9YlK2offn6-hRuxiFzNk8j-zWpDFEJwiXR5bUi~uyaljL5n9oh5ct4YAyFdfm73adxrhVZdz-SD5siQvJaA5Gv2BihfScs2GVfXUrsHdPOgew4yvaKuol0mmas83wikC1DM9hJ7xGXfdd-H9nx4ukrBgYD~K3o0gfemAjaDwRVecg9HANaXfYIRZasMUpquEOnDv~R~UaUFNus4qDPMKvM8UZJ3cLQpZYkV28UG7mSw8s~M8UHiNXq99hF8pH6sX-NaOofqev3-0kk0xPdgf33QMWecucWs3Gu20w6mhr1cm2KET1PN0WN8dhibj4sFTPyJbH~h58gYCG0U6coT6w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"The_biocultural_emergence_of_mindreading_Integrating_cognitive_archaeology_and_human_development","translated_slug":"","page_count":40,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":43824,"first_name":"Marco","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Fenici","page_name":"MarcoFenici","domain_name":"unipegaso","created_at":"2009-05-18T07:17:04.429-07:00","display_name":"Marco Fenici","url":"https://unipegaso.academia.edu/MarcoFenici"},"attachments":[{"id":55230167,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/55230167/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Fenici__Garofoli_-_The_biocultural_emergence_of_mindreading.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/55230167/download_file?st=MTczMjkwMTc0Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_biocultural_emergence_of_mindreading.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/55230167/Fenici__Garofoli_-_The_biocultural_emergence_of_mindreading-libre.pdf?1512666712=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_biocultural_emergence_of_mindreading.pdf\u0026Expires=1732851000\u0026Signature=D9YlK2offn6-hRuxiFzNk8j-zWpDFEJwiXR5bUi~uyaljL5n9oh5ct4YAyFdfm73adxrhVZdz-SD5siQvJaA5Gv2BihfScs2GVfXUrsHdPOgew4yvaKuol0mmas83wikC1DM9hJ7xGXfdd-H9nx4ukrBgYD~K3o0gfemAjaDwRVecg9HANaXfYIRZasMUpquEOnDv~R~UaUFNus4qDPMKvM8UZJ3cLQpZYkV28UG7mSw8s~M8UHiNXq99hF8pH6sX-NaOofqev3-0kk0xPdgf33QMWecucWs3Gu20w6mhr1cm2KET1PN0WN8dhibj4sFTPyJbH~h58gYCG0U6coT6w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":252,"name":"Developmental Psychology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Developmental_Psychology"},{"id":4937,"name":"Theory of Mind","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Theory_of_Mind"},{"id":5393,"name":"Folk Psychology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Folk_Psychology"},{"id":15331,"name":"Cognitive archaeology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cognitive_archaeology"},{"id":72146,"name":"False Belief","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/False_Belief"},{"id":103285,"name":"Mindreading","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mindreading"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

It is concluded that a radical enactive cognitive archaeology is able to dissolve the deep problems confronting the mentalistic paradigm, while providing minimalistic cognitive explanations about the emergence of Paleolithic artifacts.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/35230312/RECkoning_with_representational_apriorism_in_evolutionary_cognitive_archaeology","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2017-11-23T01:35:32.156-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":54596739,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"RECkoning_with_representational_apriorism_in_evolutionary_cognitive_archaeology","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":54596739,"first_name":"Duilio","middle_initials":"","last_name":"Garofoli","page_name":"DuilioGarofoli","domain_name":"uni-tuebingen1","created_at":"2016-10-06T09:30:03.780-07:00","display_name":"Duilio Garofoli","url":"https://uni-tuebingen1.academia.edu/DuilioGarofoli"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":4420,"name":"Embodied Cognition","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Embodied_Cognition"},{"id":28776,"name":"Acheulian (Archaeology)","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Acheulian_Archaeology_"},{"id":65519,"name":"Narrative Practice Hypothesis","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Narrative_Practice_Hypothesis"},{"id":111838,"name":"Body Ornamentation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Body_Ornamentation"},{"id":130120,"name":"Cognitive Evolution","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cognitive_Evolution"},{"id":611278,"name":"Cognitive Archeology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cognitive_Archeology"},{"id":820836,"name":"Radical Enactivism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radical_Enactivism"},{"id":930061,"name":"Material Engagement Theory","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Material_Engagement_Theory"}],"urls":[{"id":8358786,"url":"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11097-017-9549-4"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="33380102"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/33380102/Identity_concept_learning_in_matching_to_sample_tasks_by_tufted_capuchin_monkeys_Cebus_apella_"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Identity concept learning in matching-to-sample tasks by tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella)" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/33380102/Identity_concept_learning_in_matching_to_sample_tasks_by_tufted_capuchin_monkeys_Cebus_apella_">Identity concept learning in matching-to-sample tasks by tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella)</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--coauthors"><span>by </span><span><a class="" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-authors" href="https://uni-tuebingen1.academia.edu/DuilioGarofoli">Duilio Garofoli</a>, <a class="" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-authors" href="https://independent.academia.edu/ValentinaTruppa">Valentina Truppa</a>, <a class="" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-authors" href="https://independent.academia.edu/EvaPianoMortari">Eva Piano Mortari</a>, and <a class="" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-authors" href="https://independent.academia.edu/ElisabettaVisalberghi">Elisabetta Visalberghi</a></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">The abstract concept of equivalence is considered one of the bases of higher-order cognition, and...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">The abstract concept of equivalence is considered one of the bases of higher-order cognition, and it has been the subject of considerable research in comparative cognition. This study examined the conditions under which tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) are able to acquire an identity concept. Six capuchin monkeys were trained to solve a visual matching-to-sample (MTS) task on the basis of perceptual identity. The acquisition of the identity rule was inferred from the subject’s ability to solve transfer tests with novel stimuli. We evaluated the ability of the capuchin monkeys to match the shape of novel stimuli after training with both several small stimulus sets (Experiment 1) and a large stimulus set (Experiment 2). Moreover, we examined the ability of capuchins to transfer the concept to novel visual dimensions, such as colour and size and to transfer to novel spatial arrangements of the stimuli (Experiment 2). We demonstrated that the ability of capuchins to match novel stimuli was improved by increasing the number of stimuli used during training (Experiments 1 and 2) and that after a widely applicable identity concept based on the stimulus shape was acquired, the capuchins were able to match stimuli according to an identity rule based on both the colour and size of the stimuli and when the spatial arrangement of the stimuli was varied (Experiment 2). This study is the first to demonstrate that the size of the training set affects the acquisition of an abstract identity concept in an MTS task in non-human primates.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="33380102"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="33380102"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 33380102; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=33380102]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=33380102]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 33380102; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='33380102']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 33380102, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=33380102]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":33380102,"title":"Identity concept learning in matching-to-sample tasks by tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella)","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"The abstract concept of equivalence is considered one of the bases of higher-order cognition, and it has been the subject of considerable research in comparative cognition.

In this comment I shall argue that the reasons why linear models are problematic are not those proposed by Langbroek but rather lie in weaknesses in the way in which arguments based on models have generally been constructed. Top-down and bottom-up approaches in CA should not be viewed as in opposition, but rather as making complementary contributions within the generation of well-formed families of models. The real problem with linear models arises when flawed theories of behavioral systems are improperly mapped onto mental systems, on the basis of arbitrary rules of connection and unsubstantiated assumptions. Neglecting reference to precise analytic categories is a particularly crucial problem in CA, and this applies also with some aspects of Langbroek's argument. To highlight and overcome these issues with the author's original formulation, I shall suggest the formulation be augmented by implementing some recently introduced epistemic tools for CA.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="33378979"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="33378979"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 33378979; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=33378979]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=33378979]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 33378979; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='33378979']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 33378979, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=33378979]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":33378979,"title":"Comment on “Trees and ladders: A critique of the theory of human cognitive and behavioural evolution in palaeolithic archaeology” by Langbroek, M.

Here we present a model that, in broad terms, aims to explain the evolution and portray the expansion of human cultural capacities (the EECC model), that can be used as a point of departure for further multidisciplinary discussion and more detailed investigation. The EECC model is designed to be flexible, and can be refined to accommodate future archaeological, paleoanthropological, genetic or evolutionary psychology/behavioral analyses and discoveries. Our proposed concept of cultural behavior differentiates between empirically traceable behavioral performances and behavioral capacities that are theoretical constructs. Based largely on archaeological data (the ‘black box’ that most directly opens up hominin cultural evolution), and on the extension of observable problem-solution distances, we identify eight grades of cultural capacity.

Importantly, the model does not imply an inevitable progression, but focuses on expansion of cultural capacities based on the integration of earlier achievements.

The explanations advanced here are nonetheless consistent with a set of classic and innovative theories in cognitive archaeology.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/33364616/A_Radical_Embodied_Approach_to_Lower_Palaeolithic_Spear_making","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2017-06-07T07:03:12.226-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":54596739,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":53421578,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/53421578/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"2015_Garofoli_REC_spears_manuscript.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/53421578/download_file?st=MTczMjkwMTc0Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjkwMTc0Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"A_Radical_Embodied_Approach_to_Lower_Pal.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/53421578/2015_Garofoli_REC_spears_manuscript-libre.pdf?1496844346=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DA_Radical_Embodied_Approach_to_Lower_Pal.pdf\u0026Expires=1732905342\u0026Signature=bnVRFqdAcHA8i1zCUiApzs-u9MRKRahNMfe-AsQ2Mfwd3tYZzeRPXcjmaQFYzxxkMASimHNr-r9Oyz4jXHEoqJO5oLMwDzxK9bCwz-uxeAdmFc387vxGTyIEyEU7ZR2Jt6u~jzpipx9EUYe14~NRvF5fyieJ4snh3JSbEQvVWn7CnAl5Hhtcl8r5URJ1dm2aBUbYZz3jM3G-UXMTEJg~7TYtHrgOaZTnGLcuFuBoJhXMiMRGX9TT0lvSWhPhp-KruFQDPOpIe0lToRzRqRThDr2Sy7jVv6WLJWz03eiyqIEmBs1h78j8Pk7XGM7mzOAve~wAJ7I0Sb2wMHoE5yl7XA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"A_Radical_Embodied_Approach_to_Lower_Palaeolithic_Spear_making","translated_slug":"","page_count":20,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":54596739,"first_name":"Duilio","middle_initials":"","last_name":"Garofoli","page_name":"DuilioGarofoli","domain_name":"uni-tuebingen1","created_at":"2016-10-06T09:30:03.780-07:00","display_name":"Duilio Garofoli","url":"https://uni-tuebingen1.academia.edu/DuilioGarofoli"},"attachments":[{"id":53421578,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/53421578/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"2015_Garofoli_REC_spears_manuscript.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/53421578/download_file?st=MTczMjkwMTc0Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjkwMTc0Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"A_Radical_Embodied_Approach_to_Lower_Pal.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/53421578/2015_Garofoli_REC_spears_manuscript-libre.pdf?1496844346=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DA_Radical_Embodied_Approach_to_Lower_Pal.pdf\u0026Expires=1732905342\u0026Signature=bnVRFqdAcHA8i1zCUiApzs-u9MRKRahNMfe-AsQ2Mfwd3tYZzeRPXcjmaQFYzxxkMASimHNr-r9Oyz4jXHEoqJO5oLMwDzxK9bCwz-uxeAdmFc387vxGTyIEyEU7ZR2Jt6u~jzpipx9EUYe14~NRvF5fyieJ4snh3JSbEQvVWn7CnAl5Hhtcl8r5URJ1dm2aBUbYZz3jM3G-UXMTEJg~7TYtHrgOaZTnGLcuFuBoJhXMiMRGX9TT0lvSWhPhp-KruFQDPOpIe0lToRzRqRThDr2Sy7jVv6WLJWz03eiyqIEmBs1h78j8Pk7XGM7mzOAve~wAJ7I0Sb2wMHoE5yl7XA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":15180,"name":"Philosophy of Cognitive Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Philosophy_of_Cognitive_Science"},{"id":15331,"name":"Cognitive archaeology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cognitive_archaeology"},{"id":91636,"name":"Paleolithic Archaeology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Paleolithic_Archaeology"},{"id":362853,"name":"Embodied and Enactive Cognition","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Embodied_and_Enactive_Cognition"},{"id":820836,"name":"Radical Enactivism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radical_Enactivism"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> </div><div class="profile--tab_content_container js-tab-pane tab-pane" data-section-id="7091149" id="bookreviews"><div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="36384820"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/36384820/Book_review_Daniel_D_Hutto_and_Erik_Myin_Evolving_Enactivism_Basic_Minds_Meet_Content_MIT_Press_2017_360pp_27_21_Amazon_de_ISBN_9780262036115"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Book review: Daniel D.

Cognitive capabilities and behavioral outcomes do not stem from hard-wired neurocognitive modules as the most appropriate solutions to adaptive problems. In contrast to these neurocentric tenets, cognitive evolution is explained as an enactive process, according to which humans bring forth new meanings and cognitive abilities by thinking with artifacts and through artifacts.<br />Human minds thus emerge from a bio-cultural transformative process driven by the plasticity of culture in relation to the plasticity of the brain (i. e., metaplasticity).

Neuroplasticity, in fact, does not warrant that every human biological system, provided with the appropriate conditions of cultural engagement with artifacts, can bring forth any potential cognitive function. Drawing upon the principles of neuroconstructivism, I will argue that the enactive / transformative process of material engagement is compatible with a concept of “acquired” modularity, and at the same time also limited by innate constraints within human biological systems. Thus, new cognitive properties could still require mutational enhancement as a necessary condition of their being acquired.
