To support their claim for technical reasoning skills rather than imitation as the key for cumulative technological culture (CTC), Osiurak and Reynaud argue that chimpanzees can imitate mechanical actions, but do not have CTC. They also state that an increase in working memory in human evolution could not have been a key driver of CTC. We discuss why we disagree with these claims.

技术推理假设不排除模仿和工作记忆对 CTC 的潜在关键作用

为了支持他们声称技术推理技能而不是模仿是累积技术文化 (CTC) 的关键，Osiurak 和 Reynaud 认为黑猩猩可以模仿机械动作，但没有 CTC。他们还指出，人类进化过程中工作记忆的增加不可能是 CTC 的关键驱动因素。我们讨论了为什么我们不同意这些说法。
