项目摘要

It has long been recognized that culture can influence cognitive processes such as memory, perception, and decision making. However, a consideration of culture has not been prominent in cognitive psychology. As research becomes more global and collaborative, with calls for greater diversity and inclusion across sub-disciplines, there is an opportunity to uncover ways in which cognitive processes can differ across individuals in diverse populations. This award seeks to gather momentum for cognitive scientists to consider cultural influences and to advance the diversity of researchers, populations, and topics under study.A series of three Culture and Cognition conferences will be organized over the next two years. The aims are to 1) advance research on cognition across cultures; 2) build a community of researchers; and 3) provide networking and support for trainees. Two of these meetings will operate as pre-conferences of the annual meeting of the Psychonomic Society, with its core audience of cognitive psychologists. A third, standalone meeting will facilitate connections among culture and cognition researchers worldwide. Meetings will include a mixture of formats, including research presentations, panel discussions, roundtables, posters, and networking receptions. The emphasis will be on interaction and active participation of attendees from all career stages, including trainees. The meetings will explore interdisciplinary perspectives on defining culture in the study of cognition, with invited speakers representing a range of disciplines that includes cognitive, social, and developmental psychology, as well as anthropology. The program will also include scientists who are themselves from culturally diverse origins working in geographically diverse locations. To build infrastructure, a website and mailing list will be created, which will support the development of the community of researchers and trainees, the dissemination of information, and provide a foundation for building on the momentum created.Support is provided by the Perception, Action, and Cognition Program and the Cultural Anthropology Program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

长期以来，人们已经认识到，文化可以影响记忆，感知和决策等认知过程。但是，对文化的考虑在认知心理学中并不突出。随着研究变得更加全球性和协作性，呼吁跨学科的多样性和包容性更大，有机会发现不同人群中个人的认知过程可能会有所不同。该奖项旨在为认知科学家筹集势头，以考虑文化影响，并提高研究人员，人口和主题的多样性。在未来两年中，将组织一系列的三个文化和认知会议。目的是1）提高对跨文化认知的研究； 2）建立一个研究人员社区； 3）为受训者提供网络和支持。这些会议中的两个将作为心理社会年度会议的前会议，以及其认知心理学家的核心受众。第三次独立会议将促进全球文化和认知研究人员之间的联系。会议将包括格式的混合，包括研究演示，小组讨论，圆桌会议，海报和网络接待。重点是包括学员在内的所有职业阶段的与会者的互动和积极参与。这些会议将探讨有关在认知研究中定义文化的跨学科观点，其中有邀请的演讲者代表一系列学科，包括认知，社会和发展心理学以及人类学。该计划还将包括科学家，这些科学家本身来自在地理上不同地点工作的文化多样性。 To build infrastructure, a website and mailing list will be created, which will support the development of the community of researchers and trainees, the dissemination of information, and provide a foundation for building on the momentum created.Support is provided by the Perception, Action, and Cognition Program and the Cultural Anthropology Program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader影响审查标准。
