Response: Commentary: Effects of dividing attention on memory for declarative and procedural aspects of tool use

摘要

Osiurak et al. (2016) presented a commentary on our previous research. However, we found that their commentary contained several inaccurate statements and misrepresented the purpose and implications of our work. Thus, we will begin by describing our research objectives and findings. We will then offer a critique of the position taken by Osiurak et al. regarding the processes of tool use. Finally, we will discuss how our research contributes to a better understanding of the processes involved in skilled tool use.
