Abstract

This paper investigates the cognitive capacities underlying cumulative technological culture (CTC). A model integrating technical reasoning (TR) and theory of mind (ToM) is proposed, using a micro-society paradigm. Results show that TR supports both information transmission and technological modification, while ToM, though accelerating growth, is not necessary for CTC emergence.
