ABSTRACT
Psychology.—Neural Darwinism is mainly represented in France by Jean-Pierre Changeux and in the United States by Gerald Edelman. It is a speculative parallel of evolutionist thinking (Charles Darwin, etc.), proposed in cognitive neuroscience and psychology to answer questions about the construction of logicomathematical objects, aesthetic pleasure and emotion, perception, categorization, memory, consciousness, and so on (→CATEGORIZATION, CONSCIOUSNESS, CONSTRUCTIVISM, EMOTION, LOGIC, MEMORY, PERCEPTION).
