Définition
- Cognitive anthropology studies the collective structures, and their content, that make up culture. This entry introduces the novel field of cognitive anthropology; explains the importance of the notion of mental architecture in studying concept acquisition and concept extension, especially in social contexts involving essentially collective conceptual categories; highlights the importance of cognitive anthropology and cognitive sciences cross-fertilizing each other; and presents in detail the kind of groundbreaking approach to the collective cognitive structures underlying social interaction, particularly in different cultures, which this discipline has put forward.
