These are interpreted better from neuroscientific considerations about the continuing development of neuronal architecture in adolescents and young adults, than from one about gross brain mass which already is reached in childhood. By contrast, working-memory capacity in Pan never develops beyond that of three- or four-year-old children. The phylogenetic divergence begs the question of whether it is any longer plausible to infer from the fossil record, that over the past two million years, an ostensibly gradual increase in endocranial volumes, assigned to the genus Homo, can be correlated in a scientifically-meaningful manner with the gradual evolution of our effective executive working memory. It is argued that whereas Pan’s effective working-memory capacity is relatively similar to that of its storage working-memory, our working memory is relatively larger with deeper executive control. 000132400 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000132400 590__ $$a7.9$$b2024 000132400 592__ $$a3.076$$b2024 000132400 591__ $$aNEUROSCIENCES$$b21 / 314 = 0.067$$c2024$$dQ1$$eT1 000132400 593__ $$aBehavioral Neuroscience$$c2024$$dQ1 000132400 591__ $$aBEHAVIORAL SCIENCES$$b3 / 57 = 0.053$$c2024$$dQ1$$eT1 000132400 593__ $$aNeuropsychology and Physiological Psychology$$c2024$$dQ1 000132400 593__ $$aCognitive Neuroscience$$c2024$$dQ1 000132400 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000132400 700__ $$aRead, Dwight W. 000132400 700__ $$aWalker, Michael J. 000132400 7102_ $$14009$$2735$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
