Description
"Cognition and Social Worlds" brings together psychological, sociological and anthropological approaches to core topics in cognition. Experts in these fields present differing perspectives on classification, reasoning, socialization, the development of infant cognition and scientific thought and other topics. The book demonstrates that cognition is in many ways a social activity and that an understanding of society and the thought processes of members of society cannnot be isolated from each other.
