New development on culture-and-cognition research
  Cultural Psychologists have recently proposed that human mind has been constructed by daily practices in a given culture, based on universal and innate ability. Specifically, recent culture-and-cognition studies have demonstrated that Westerners are more likely to attend analytically to an object, whereas Easterners are more likely to attend holistically to a whole field. In this workshop, young researchers addressed recent findings in their culture-and-cognition studies and discussed future direction on the studies.
