Tese de doutoramento, Ciências Biomédicas (Neurociências), Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Medicina, 2014Humans generate complex hierarchical structures in a variety of domains such as in language, social organization, music, action sequencing and visual arts. One cognitive capacity associated with this extraordinary generative power is recursion. Recursion is a very efficient method to process hierarchies and it allows the generation of unbounded hierarchical depth from finite means. Recursion can be defined as the ability to represent the embedding of hierarchies within hierarchies of the same kind. Although recursion has been hypothesized as uniquely human and primarily linguistic, the empirical investigation of these hypotheses has...
