| Abstract: Evolutionary psychology can benefit from behavior analytic concepts and techniques that emphasize the behavior of individuals from a long-term, contextual, and functional perspective. Conversely, behavior analysis could benefit from an evolutionary understanding of the determinants and effects of behavior in naturally and sexually selected environments evolutionary psychology can advance our understanding of language is by expanding our understanding of the function of language and the context in which it evolved. Recent empirical studies have shown a correlation between performance on intelligence tests, tests of verbal ability, and evolutionarily relevant factors of personality and behavior. |
