Cultural differences in the development of cognitive shifting: East–West comparison
چکیده انگلیسی

Prior research has documented that Japanese children’s performance on the Dimensional Change Card Sorting (DCCS) task can be influenced by their observation of another person completing the task, which is referred to as social transmission of disinhibition. The current study explored whether Canadian children would also show a social transmission of disinhibition and whether their performance would be comparable to that of Japanese children. In this study, 3- and 4-year-olds in Canada and Japan were given both the standard version and social version of the DCCS. Results indicated that Canadian children displayed the social transmission of disinhibition, but their effects were significantly weaker than those with Japanese children. On the other hand, performance on the standard DCCS was comparable between children in the two countries. We discuss the results in terms of cultural differences in the relationship between self and other.


► We examined cultural differences in cognitive shifting between Canadian and Japanese children.
► Children were given a standard Dimensional Change Card Sort and the social version.
► Canadian children performed both tasks equally.
► Japanese children showed more difficulty with social version than the standard version.
