 :::info
 
 The selector function should be [pure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_function) since it is potentially executed multiple times and at arbitrary points in time.
 
+See [Using Redux: Deriving Data with Selectors](https://redux.js.org/usage/deriving-data-selectors) in the Redux docs for more details on writing and using selector functions.

-The selector is approximately equivalent to the [`mapStateToProps` argument to `connect`](../using-react-redux/connect-extracting-data-with-mapStateToProps.md) conceptually. The selector will be called with the entire Redux store state as its only argument. The selector will be run whenever the function component renders (unless its reference hasn't changed since a previous render of the component so that a cached result can be returned by the hook without re-running the selector). `useSelector()` will also subscribe to the Redux store, and run your selector whenever an action is dispatched.
+The selector will be called with the entire Redux store state as its only argument. The selector may return any value as a result, including directly returning a value that was nested inside `state`, or deriving new values.

+You may call `useSelector()` multiple times within a single function component. Each call to `useSelector()` creates an individual subscription to the Redux store. Because of the React update batching behavior used in React Redux v7, a dispatched action that causes multiple `useSelector()`s in the same component to return new values _should_ only result in a single re-render.

 There are potential edge cases with using props in selectors that may cause issues. See the [Usage Warnings](#usage-warnings) section of this page for further details.

+### Comparisons with `connect`

+There are some differences between the selectors passed to `useSelector()` and a `mapState` function:

+- The selector may return any value as a result, not just an object.
+- The selector normally _should_ return just a single value, and not an object. If you do return an object or an array, be sure to use a memoized selector to avoid unnecessary re-renders.
+- The selector function does _not_ receive an `ownProps` argument. However, props can be used through closure (see the examples above) or by using a curried selector.
+- You can use the `equalityFn` option to customize the comparison behavior
