Suor等人（）提出了一个令人信服的新的进化框架，为在恶劣的早期环境中长大的儿童的认知缺陷的既定发现提供了另一种解释。他们认为，这些发现并没有传达出这些儿童认知发展的全貌，因为儿童的认知变得专门化，以增强健康的方式解决问题，而传统的抽象问题解决任务并不能完全捕捉他们的能力。作者证明，暴露于早期苛刻的儿童，特别是具有鹰气质的儿童，优先将认知转移到突出的健身刺激，从而发展出更好的技能来解决奖励导向的任务。这个有趣的和启发性的生成研究激发了多个新的研究途径，其中我们概述了三个：（a）进一步检查的概念，恶劣的环境，（B）解决问题的概念化和儿童气质的作用，（c）在测量儿童的独特技能的进一步进展。
Suor et al. () present a compelling new evolutionary framework that offers an alternative interpretation of the well‐established findings of cognitive deficits in children raised in harsh early environments. They argue that such findings do not convey a complete picture of those children's cognitive development, because children's cognition becomes specialized to solve problems in fitness‐enhancing ways, and traditional abstract problem‐solving tasks do not fully capture their abilities. The authors demonstrate that children exposed to early harshness, particularly children with Hawk temperaments, preferentially shift cognition to salient fitness‐enhancing stimuli, and thus develop better skills for solving reward‐oriented tasks. This intriguing and heuristically generative study inspires multiple new research avenues, of which we outline three: (a) Further examination of the concept of harsh environments, (b) addressing questions about the conceptualization and the role of child temperament, and (c) further advances in the measurement of children's distinct skills.
