DOI:
https://doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2024.v18.36467Palavras-chave:
mecanismos psicológicos evoluídos, problemas adaptativos, ambiente de adaptação evolutiva, especialização funcional, aprendizagemResumo
Em poucas décadas a Psicologia Evolucionista surgiu enquanto ciência e diversificou seus temas de investigação, contemplando atualmente temas clássicos e emergentes na psicologia. Apesar dessa rápida expansão, seus fundamentos teóricos permanecem incompreendidos. O objetivo desse trabalho foi, portanto, analisar os fundamentos epistemológicos e conceituais da Psicologia Evolucionista, explicitando como essas bases teóricas lançam um olhar único sobre a mente e o comportamento humano. Discute-se por meio de pesquisas empíricas como o funcionamento mental evoluído é necessário para a compreensão de diversos fenômenos psicológicos no ambiente moderno. Ao final, é apresentada uma perspectiva interacionista dessa psicologia evoluída e da aprendizagem.
