relevance of subjects' cultural background?

Posted by PLOS_CompBiol on 06 Mar 2008 at 11:03 GMT

Originally submitted as a Reader Response on 12 February, 2008

The cultural background of the subjects was not specified, and I wonder if that had any relevance to the authors' findings as might be suggested by the very recent study of Hedden et al:

Cultural influences on neural substrates of attentional control.
Psychol Sci. 2008 Jan;19(1):12-7.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.g...

or was there any heterogeneity in the subjects' responses that could be associated with cultural background?
