Die Natur kann Organismen nicht so »bauen«, dass sie biologisch auf alle Eventualitäten vorbereitet sind. Sie kann aber psychologische Akteure schaffen: Organismen, welche als Feedbacksteuerungssysteme funktionieren, die Ziele verfolgen, fundierte Verhaltensentscheidungen treffen und deren Ausführung überwachen. In seinem neuen Buch stellt Michael Tomasello eine Typologie der wichtigsten Formen psychologischen Handelns vor, die auf dem Weg der Evolution zum Menschen entstanden sind.

Er skizziert vier Haupttypen dieses Handelns in der evolutionären Reihenfolge...

Fast alle Theorien darüber, wie der Mensch zu einer so einzigartigen Spezies geworden ist, konzentrieren sich auf die Evolution. Michael Tomasello legt mit seinem faszinierenden Buch eine komplementäre Theorie vor, die sich auf die kindliche Entwicklung konzentriert. Aufbauend auf den bahnbrechenden Ideen von Lev Vygotskij, erklärt sein empiriegesättigtes Modell, wie sich das, was uns menschlich macht, in den ersten Lebensjahren herausbildet. Mit seiner radikalen Neubewertung der Ontogenese zeigt Tomasello, wie die Biologie die Bedingungen schafft, unter denen die Kultur ihre Arbeit...

From the point of view of psychology and cognitive science, much of modern linguistics is too formal and mathematical to be of much use. The New Psychology of Language volumes broke new ground by introducing functional and cognitive approaches to language structure in terms already familiar to psychologists, thus defining the next era in the scientific study of language.

The Classic Edition volumes re-introduce some of the most important cognitive and functional linguists working in the field. They include a new introduction by Michael Tomasello in which he reviews what...

In this groundbreaking book, Michael Tomasello presents a comprehensive usage-based theory of language acquisition. Drawing together a vast body of empirical research in cognitive science, linguistics, and developmental psychology, Tomasello demonstrates that we don't need a self-contained "language instinct" to explain how children learn language. Their linguistic ability is interwoven with other cognitive abilities.

Tomasello argues that the essence of language is its symbolic dimension, which rests on the uniquely human ability to comprehend intention. Grammar emerges as the...

Ambitious and elegant, this book builds a bridge between evolutionary theory and cultural psychology. Michael Tomasello is one of the very few people to have done systematic research on the cognitive capacities of both nonhuman primates and human children. The Cultural Origins of Human Cognition identifies what the differences are, and suggests where they might have come from.

Tomasello argues that the roots of the human capacity for symbol-based culture, and the kind of psychological development that takes place within it, are based in a cluster of uniquely human cognitive...
