ABSTRACT
Cognitive abilities usually measured in neuropsychological tests represent, at least in their contents, learned abilities whose scores correlate with the subject’s learning opportunities and contextual experiences. Cultural variations are evident in test scores, as culture provides us with specific models for ways of thinking, acting, and feeling (Ardila, 1995; Berry, 1979). Findings of perceptual differences between cultures mark the role of culture as central in mediating and amplifying our cognitions, regarding that which is situationally relative and relevant.
