Historical Development of Human Cognition: A Cultural-Historical Neuropsychological Perspective By Alfredo ArdilaEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2017 (2018 Edition) | 184 Pages | ISBN : 9811068860 | 4.97 MB
This book addresses a central question: how did cognition emerge in human history? It approaches the question from a cultural-historical, neuropsychological perspective and analyses evidence on the historical origins of cognitive activity; integrates information regarding cross-cultural differences in neuropsychological performance; and discusses how adopting a historical and cultural perspective in the behavioural neurosciences can help to arrive at a better understanding of cognition. Lastly, it proposes general guidelines for future research in the area.
