目前的研究越来越表明,人类的空间认知是通过许多专门的机制来完成的,每种机制都旨在解决特定的适应性问题。对于我们的人类祖先,尤其是女性祖先来说,一个主要的适应性问题是需要有效地收集固定的食物,这些食物在质量、数量、空间位置和时间可用性方面可能存在很大差异。我们提出了人类导航收集适应的认知模型,并在美国和日本的样本中测试了其预测。我们的结果一致支持:人类大脑似乎具备导航采集适应能力,可以将可采集食物的位置编码到空间记忆中。这种机制似乎在女性中长期活跃,在男性中则在明确的动机下被激活。
Current research increasingly suggests that spatial cognition in humans is accomplished by many specialized mechanisms, each designed to solve a particular adaptive problem. A major adaptive problem for our hominin ancestors, particularly females, was the need to efficiently gather immobile foods which could vary greatly in quality, quantity, spatial location and temporal availability. We propose a cognitive model of a navigational gathering adaptation in humans and test its predictions in samples from the US and Japan. Our results are uniformly supportive: the human mind appears equipped with a navigational gathering adaptation that encodes the location of gatherable foods into spatial memory. This mechanism appears to be chronically active in women and activated under explicit motivation in men.
