1) Expansion of the parietal lobe has been associated with the evolution of spatial cognition, which is thought to consist of a collection of different processes and abilities rather than a general purpose spatial processor.
Discuss at least four cognitive spatial functions or processes (e.g. reaching, egocentric map), identify the cortical area associated with each process, and report the extent to which other primates exhibit a similar ability.
2) Identify a pattern recognition abilities that we share with other primates. Identify a pattern recognition ability that is either extremely advanced in humans or unique to humans. In both case, describe the data from which
the comparisons and inferences are made.
