Simple specialization cannot account for brain functioning. Yet, we believe Anderson's reuse
can be better explained by re-function. We suggest that functional demands shape brain …

The compelling case that Anderson makes for neural reuse and against modularity as
organizing principle of the brain is further supported by evidence from developmental …

Morality, time, and valence are highly abstract concepts. Exactly how people are able to
think and talk about abstract concepts is a question that has intrigued philosophers and …

Neural reuse theories should interest developmental psychologists because these theories
can potentially illuminate the developmental relations among psychological characteristics …

The aim of the dissertation was to investigate the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT, Lakoff
& Johnson, 1980, 1999). The CMT proposes that abstract concepts are partly structured by …

The posterior cortex, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex in the Leabra architecture are
specialized in terms of various neural parameters, and thus are predilections for learning …

We isolate some critical aspects of the reuse notion in Anderson's massive redeployment
hypothesis (MRH). We notice that the actual rearranging of local neural circuits at a …

Neural reuse theories suggest that, in the course of evolution, a brain structure may acquire
or lose a number of cognitive uses while maintaining its cognitive workings (or low-level …

Spatial prepositions, more specifically projective prepositions, such as in front of or behind
can be interpreted in different ways. Their interpretation depends on the spatial perspective …

The notion of truth is intimately and intricately connected with the family of figurative and
other forms of indirect language commonly referred to as tropes. This relationship is also a …
