We might also employ autonomous, domain-general comprehensive moral reasoning to recognize that our instinctive feelings shouldn't always be followed, e.g., in cases where considerations of justice constrain certain pursuits of benefits for one's own children, providing genuine overriding reasons to refrain from unjust actions.

In conclusion, much evidence interpreted to support language-specific mechanisms may actually result from domain-general processes.

Proponents of domain generality cite this conclusion to support their thesis for a domain-general intelligence, but their currently favored explanations for its evolution actually presuppose a social intelligence in competing with other humans for resources.

In both cases, most theories are domain-general, and though those will be the focus, I will mention a couple domain-specific theories along the way.

This implies that, while domain-general theories of category-based induction may work in many cases, domain-specific accounts may be necessary for others e.g., areas of expertise.

If you haven't guessed by now that my own view of reasoning is largely domain-general, this post should leave no doubt.

In fact, to the extent that data supports domain-general views of various higher-order cognitive capacities, the evolutionary psychological view of modularity is demonstrably false.
