List and discuss the benefits of understanding genetics and culture on the brain in developing psychological theory and cultural neuroscience according to Chiao (2009).
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: One benefit is that cultural psychology, a related discipline, illustrates the impact of culture on psychological processes. A second reason to study cultural neuroscience according to Chiao is that understanding whether neural variations for humans living in different regions/contexts differ during completion of the same task or activity. Thirdly, Chiao proposed that not having a comprehensive understanding of the bidirectional influence of genomic and cultural processes on brain functioning limits our understanding of human behavior.
