Cognitive Sciences, Inclusion, and Interculturality

Towards a More Inclusive Understanding of the Mind

Abstract

This special issue of the journal Ánfora delves into the intersection of cognitive sciences, inclusion, and interculturality, exploring the need to transcend traditional Eurocentric cognitive models. The articles collected here provide a broader and more complex view of mental processes, acknowledging the diversity of ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to the world. By analyzing cognition in intercultural contexts and among minority populations, the authors contribute to building more inclusive and equitable knowledge. The studies presented range from analyzing the relationship between culture and cognition, to implementing intercultural educational models, and exploring the cognitive experiences of individuals with neurodiversity. The findings presented in these articles have significant implications for education, psychology, neuroscience, and public policy. By highlighting the importance of cognitive and cultural diversity, these studies encourage a rethinking of educational practices and the building of fairer and more inclusive societies.
