AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document presents the results of intensive observation and experimental testing of Kpelle mathematical and logical skills. The research was stimulated by the idea of culture-specific abilities and tasks, and questioned the assumption that 'psychological tasks…evoke the same kinds of behaviors in subjects from different cultures'.
