One Function One Tool? A Review on Mutual Exclusivity in Tool Use Learning in Human and Non-human Species

The goal of this review is twofold: first to explore whether mutual exclusivity and functional fixedness overlap and what might be their respective specificities and second, to investigate whether mutual exclusivity as an inferential principle could be applied in other domains than language and whet...

We argue that, despite their common principle -one tool one function- mutual exclusivity and functional fixedness are two distinct phenomena and need to be addressed separately in order to fully understand the mechanisms underlying social learning and cognition. In addition, mutual exclusivity appears to be applicable in other domains than language learning, namely tool use learning and is also found in non-human species when learning symbols and tools.Thuy Tuong Uyen TranRana EsseilyDalila BovetIldikó KirályIldikó KirályFrontiers Media S.A.articlemutual exclusivitysocial learningfunction learningtool functionfunctional fixednessanimalsPsychologyBF1-990ENFrontiers in Psychology, Vol 12 (2021)
