In this book, Radu Bogdan examines the roots of this uniquely human ability, which he terms "mindvaulting." He focuses particularly on the capacities of pretending and imagining, which he identifies as the first forms of mindvaulting to develop in childhood. Pretending and imagining, Bogdan argues, are crucial steps on the ontogenetic staircase to the intellect.Bogdan finds that pretending and then imagining develop from a variety of sources for reasons that are specific and unique to human childhood. He argues that these capacities arise as responses to sociocultural and sociopolitical pressures that emerge at different stages of childhood. Bogdan argues that some of the properties of mindvaulting--including domain versatility and nonmodularity--resist standard evolutionary explanations. To resolve this puzzle, Bogdan reorients the evolutionary analysis toward human ontogeny, construed as a genuine space of evolution with specific pressures and adaptive responses. Bogdan finds that pretending is an ontogenetic response to sociocultural challenges in early childhood, a pre-adaptation for imagining; after age four, the adaptive response to cooperative and competitive sociopolitical pressures is a competence for mental strategizing that morphs into imagining. 001386229 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001386229 650_0 $$aImagination. 001386229 650_0 $$aImagination in children. 001386229 650_0 $$aSocial psychology. 001386229 650_0 $$aSocial perception. 001386229 650_0 $$aSocial cognitive theory. 001386229 653__ $$aPHILOSOPHY/Philosophy of Mind/General 001386229 653__ $$aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/General 001386229 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001386229 852__ $$bebk 001386229 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/9744.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001386229 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001386229 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1386229$$pGLOBAL_SET 001386229 980__ $$aBIB 001386229 980__ $$aEBOOK 001386229 982__ $$aEbook 001386229 983__ $$aOnline
