Cultural Psychology on Education - Dictionary of Arguments
Upton I 97 Education/Cultural psychology/Upton: Cross-cultural studies have shown that cognitive skills develop at different rates and may manifest themselves in different ways depending on the context in which a child lives (Cole, 1990)(1). Nunes et al. (1993)(2) showed, for example, how child street traders in Brazil who had not been exposed to formal schooling had difficulty finding the correct solution to hypothetical mathematical problems when these problems were given to them in written form. However, they did statistically better when the same problem was presented orally. 1.
