Bio-culturally grounded: why separation and connection may not be the same around the world.
Albert LeeGianluca EspositoPublished in: The Behavioral and brain sciences (2021)
Central to the account of grounded procedures is the premise that mental experiences are grounded in physical actions. We complement this account by incorporating frameworks in cultural psychology and developmental neuroscience, with new predictions. Through the examples of vicarious experiences and demerit transfer, we discuss why, and how, separation and connection may operate somewhat differently across cultures.
