The social route to abstraction: interaction and diversity enhance performance and transfer in a rule-based categorization task

2020-08-13

Abstract excerpt

<p>Capacities for abstract thinking and problem solving are central to human cognition. Processes of abstraction allow the transfer of experiences and knowledge between contexts helping us make informed decisions in new or changing contexts. While we are often inclined to relate such reasoning capacities to individual minds and brains, they may in fact be contingent on human-specific modes of collaboration, dialog...
