چکیده
Ancient development environment (DA). This term refers to the environment surrounding our hominid ancestors in their formative years, that is, while they developed from fertilized egg to reproductively mature individuals. The term environment is used here broadly; generally meaning all factors that were not genetic in nature, such as social, nutritional, climatic, and other related factors. Like the ancient task environment, this development environment refers to the evolutionary period that led to the emergence of Homo sapiens. Before birth, the ancient development environment was the mother’s womb. After birth, and from a physical surroundings perspective, the ancient development environment is believed to have been fairly similar to the modern African savannas.

Stanley Schacter, a student enrolled in the course, described it as “more philosophy of science than a review of different theories. Its purpose was to teach students what a theory is, how to test a theory appropriately, and what makes a theory useful” (Higgins, 2004, p. 138). In this light, Le...
متن کاملAttachment Hypothesis of REM Sleep Toward an Integration of Psychoanalysis, Neuroscience, and Evolutionary Psychology and the Implications for Psychopathology Research
In this article the authors propose, on the basis of a review of the evolutionary and neuropsychological study of REM sleep, that REM sleep functions to promote attachment and that in the mature state it may promote sexual pair bonding and serve related compensatory functions. The attachment hypothesis is consistent with known psychobiologic correlates of REM sleep, with classical psychoanalyti...
