Tracing culture in children’s thinking: a socioecological framework in understanding nature (Rastreando la cultura en el pensamiento infantil: una socioecología para comprender la naturaleza)

Abstract: There is considerable agreement that cognitive development is shaped by culture. Less clear, however, is the mechanism by which culture exerts its influence as cognition unfolds. Prior work has primarily focused on culture as a species-specific medium of cognitive development or as an explicative factor of cognitive capacities. Here we describe a more recent alternative, the culture-asecosystem approach. In this view, concepts are embedded within epistemological orientations providing pervasive, widely distrib… Show more

“…From this perspective it is believed that, as with some species within an ecosystem, certain ideas, customs and practices develop best in specific ecologies over others, managing to perpetuate within a widespread distribution. Thus, the idea of constructing niches, a very powerful one in this approach, focuses attention on dynamics at the systemic level rather than focusing on components in isolation, which is the norm in many psychological approaches (for a review of this approach’s application to conceptual development among the Wichi, see Taverna et al, 2020).…”

“…This work focuses on the Wichi, a native population that affords us the opportunity to examine language acquisition in an unexplored ancestral community, with a strong vernacular language and constellation of customs differing significantly from most of the reviewed empirical works (for more detail regarding the community’s characteristics, see Baiocchi et al, 2019; Taverna et al, 2014, 2018, 2020; Taverna & Waxman, 2020; Taverna et al, 2012).…”

“…For this reason, parent–child interactions provide a window through which to view the shaping role of communication, exploration, and engagement. Adopting a cross-cultural lens offers more nuanced insight into the variation of parent–child interactions and their effects on children’s understanding of the world around them and their place within it (e.g., Cole & Bruner, 1971; Herrmann et al, 2010; Lew-Levy et al, 2017; Medin & Bang, 2014a; Morelli et al, 2003; Rogoff, 2003; Schieffelin & Ochs, 1986; Shneidman & Woodward, 2016; Taverna et al, 2020). Nonetheless, the evidence on parent–child communication has thus far focused predominantly on the spoken word.…”

“…Desde la perspectiva del análisis de la identificación de seres vivos Taverna et al (2020), refleja en un estudio social de los indígenas Wichí, una población de la región Chaqueña del norte de Argentina, que tanto niños como adultos describen a los humanos y otros animales (pero no las plantas) como seres vivos, señalando que, como es el caso con todos los habitantes vivientes, están permeados buena voluntad social. Estos resultados muestran que el conocimiento de los niños varía en función de las costumbres culturales, incluyendo su lengua materna y su experiencia directa con sus propios ecosistemas, confirmando que el desarrollo cognitivo es un proceso cultural.…”
