Culturally invariant parameters of cognitive functioning

The two research traditions indicated with the terms indigenous cognition and information processing models are much further apart than suggested by the simple conjunction “and” through which they are related in the title of this workshop. Studies of indigenous cognition tend to be focussed on products of human cognitive functioning, with a preference for those not readily found in Western cultures. The term information processing refers to psychological functions and mechanisms supposedly mediating between stimulus input and subject’s responses.
