Overview
Cultural neuroscience is a new discipline that investigates cultural variation in psychological, neural and genomic processes. Culture and genes are often thought of as at opposite ends of the nature-nurture spectrum but interactions do exist: genetic variation may interact with ecological and social factors to influence cultural differences. There are, for example,
- cross-cultural differences in children’s choices, categorizations, and evaluation of truths and lies,
- culturally specific personality traits (in so-called independent and interdependent cultures),
- differences in perception (analytic vs. holistic, local vs. global processing),
- reading,
- writing,
- arithmetic processing,
- semantic relationships,
- memory,
- emotions, and
- empathy.
Key words:
cultural neuroscience, genes, neurobiology, behaviour, cultural traits.
