认知科学家不仅要了解大脑在做什么，还要了解大脑在做什么。在本文中，我考虑了认知架构的四个方面：思维是如何发展的，它是或不是模块化的程度，它是或不是最佳的程度，以及它应该或不应该被视为符号操纵装置的程度（与之相对的是，比如说，一个消除连接主义网络）。在每一种情况下，我都认为，来自发育和进化生物学的见解可以在历史上争论不休的辩论中导致实质性的重要妥协。
Cognitive scientists must understand not just what the mind does, buthowit does what it does. In this paper, I consider four aspects of cognitive architecture: how the mind develops, the extent to which it is or is not modular, the extent to which it is or is not optimal, and the extent to which it should or should not be considered a symbol‐manipulating device (as opposed to, say, an eliminative connectionist network). In each case, I argue that insights from developmental and evolutionary biology can lead to substantive and important compromises in historically vexed debates.
