Culture and cognition

Ethan J. Myers

Chapter 18 in Elgar Concise Encyclopedia of Neuroscience and Management, 2026, pp 63-65 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter reviews how cultural frameworks influence cognitive processes from perception to decision-making and leadership. Cross-cultural research demonstrates systematic differences in attention, emotion, and moral reasoning between Western individualists and Eastern collectivists. Neurocognitive findings further reveal distinct processing pathways aligned with analytic and holistic styles. Integrating psychological and business perspectives, this review underscores the importance of adapting leadership and management strategies to culturally shaped ways of thinking.
