库恩和斯廷纳（Kuhn and Stiner，2006）认为，按年龄和性别进行经济劳动分工是现代人类状况的一个显著特征，它在人类进化史上出现得相对较晚，而且不是尼安德特人的典型特征。他们对现代人类考古学特征的挑衅性分析引发了几种不同的解释。在本文中，我们假设，经济劳动的年龄和性别分工可能是心理模拟的结果，这种心理模拟是通过增强工作记忆能力来实现的，这种能力使真实的情景记忆和自主思维成为可能。
Kuhn and Stiner (2006) have argued that the division of economic labor by age and gender is a salient feature of the recent human condition, that it emerged relatively late in human evolutionary history, and that it is not typi cal of Neandertals. Their provocative analysis of the archaeological signature of modern humans invites several alternative interpretations. In the present paper, we postulate that age and gender divisions of economic labor may have been a consequence of mental simulations enabled by an enhancement of working memory capacity that enabled true episodic memories and autonoetic thinking.
