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.
