The volume offers suggestions for future research on basic problems and explores potential applications to education and social change. Editors assembled a diverse collection of cross‑cultural cognition studies from many countries, provided a historical overview of key issues, and included a comprehensive bibliography of over 600 entries. This 1974 volume is the first compilation of studies on cultural influences on cognition from varied theoretical and methodological perspectives.
Originally published in 1974, studies of cultural influences on cognition, carried out from a variety of theoretical and methodological stances, were collected for the first time in this volume. The editors placed particular emphasis on selecting material by authors from many countries who had been working with people from a wide range of cultures. In a general introduction they provide an historical overview of the major issues, and draw together the most recent attempts to bring methodological sophistication to this difficult area of enquiry. Suggestions for future research on basic problems are to be found in an epilogue, along with a consideration of some possible applications of these studies to problems of education and social change. A comprehensive bibliography with over 600 entries is included in the volume.
