Document Summary
Cgsc (cid:1005)(cid:1004)(cid:1004)(cid:1005) lecture 3: the cognitive level: cognitive science specializes in a particular level of explanation: the cognitive level. In this lecture, we will describe this level in part by distinguishing it from the others. However, for all of the levels described there are problems they are well-suited for. There are all these ideas and choices in a competitive environment. If someone gets pregnant and ignore the taboo, they are more likely to get poisoned and die or their child is more likely to get poisoned and die. People who believed in the taboo had more kids, and passed on the taboo to their kids. This is how cultures evolve, ideas are always generated and certain ideas end up doing better than others. Can look at it as the culture is learning (has to happen over generation. Not one person started it because they died)
