Evolutionary Connectionism shares the main goal of Evolutionary Psychology, that is, to develop a psychology informed by the importance of evolutionary process in shaping the inherited architecture of human mind, but differs from Evolutionary Psychology for three main reasons: (1) it uses neural networks rather than cognitive models for interpreting human behavior; (2) it adopts computer simulations for testing evolutionary scenarios; (3) it has a less pan-adaptivistic view of evolution and it is more interested in the rich interplay between genetically inherited and experiential information. We present two examples of evolutionary connectionist simulations that show how modular architectures can emerge in evolving populations of neural networks.
