Document Summary
= study of patterns and thinking and acting in particular institutional settings. Thinking and acting go together bounded by place in which we act. Those institutional settings will bound the way we act . It is easier when we study or look at smaller environments to see patterns those people share in those environments. We can define this area of culture and cognition as looking at how actors use culture through shared cognitive schema. How actors use culture through shared cultural scheme embedded in institutional settings. In terms of what goes on in our minds, patterns of thinking, cognitive patterns differ those we share with other people. Neuroscience relied on to see what goes on in the mind. Also cognitive sociology culture and cognition is still a new area, not much defined/consensus - there are some specific things about this area: of course we assume acting and thinking go together, focus on that .
