“…-Some of Watsuji's formulations here and elsewhere anticipate recent enactive approaches to cognition that stress the central role played by agency in structuring cognitive, perceptual, and affective processes (e.g., Colombetti 2014; Gallagher 2017; Noë 2009).5 -For example, he says that "phenomenology from beginning to end analyzed individual consciousness only. Even after attention was deepened from consciousness to being, it was still concerned with 'individual being'" (Watsuji 1996, p. 219).6 -Similar effects have been observed in the visual perception of objects and space(Boduroglu et al 2009;Kelly et al 2010;Saulton et al 2017).7 -For a related friendly critique of the potential narrowness of ipseity approaches, seeKrueger 2018. 8 -Ratcliffe (2017a, 2017b) defends a social account of self-disturbances in schizophrenia very close to the one I am advocating here.…”

“…A psychophysical task is used in which participants had to judge whether a rectangular room was smaller or larger than a square room of reference. The rectangularity of the room was varied by the researchers from which the room is viewed (Saulton et al, 2017). The results showed that the South Koreans were less biased compared to Germans in terms of room judgments of virtual rooms' rectangularity and viewpoint.…”

The purpose of the review article is to deepen the understanding of cultural diversity in terms of cognitive processes to avoid cultural conflicts such as misunderstanding and miscommunication. In this review, we found that there is a link that connected some cognitive processes with culture from various perspectives in our recent findings. The overall research findings suggested that there are pieces of evidence of how culture can play a role and differ from other cultures in cognitive processes such as perception, attention, memory, and creativity. Evaluation and the measurement of the culture and cognition by the researchers in the studies were included in this review together with the results of the findings and some future implications for further research proposed by the researchers of the study in some studies reviewed. We will also review how people of various cultures adapt their cognition which differs them from other cultures in some studies. In conclusion, we hope that more factors should be considered for cross-cultural studies in cognition, and further critical interpretation is needed in this review article to made people realize the diversity of cognition in culture and accept it.

“…Researchers often implicitly assume that such samples are representative of the human species, even though this is not the case (Henrich et al, 2010). Even processes as basic as visual perception and spatial orientation vary substantially across populations (Montello, 1995;Saulton, Bülthoff, de la Rosa, & Dodds, 2017;Segall, Campbell, & Herskovits, 1966). Studying more sophisticated cognitive functions confirms the existence of significant differences across human groups.…”

Mobility is integral to mankind, but current cognitive research on migrants is almost nonexistent. Most of the existing knowledge on human cognition is based on data collected from (and by) the wealthiest and least mobile citizens of the world. In turn, most of the migration literature relies on superficial, and at times erroneous, assumptions regarding the cognitive processes underlying migratory phenomenon. However, research conducted to date in reveals striking convergences between core issues relevant to scholars in cognitive science on the one hand, and in migration studies on the other. This current lack on cross-disciplinary dialog has no scientific grounds for two fields, which are inherently interdisciplinary, and yet it has concerning sociopolitical implications. Mapping out a novel research agenda at the crossroads of the cognitive and social sciences, this article stands as an invitation for researchers to engage in further collaborative work involving joint data collections and joint data analyses. This paper argues that researching migrant cognition would give more breadth to cognitive science and more depth to migration studies, which has the potential to better inform the design of public policies. Though the examples of (a) visual perception, (b) future-oriented cognition, and (c) language acquisition, this article shows that pairing the discoveries of migration scholars and cognitive scientists can move forward our understanding on the human mind, in an ever-moving world.
