The brain as the dominant actor in the determination of human behavior is at risk of fostering the view that the brain is in full control. The potential consequence of a predominant brain-based view is that the role of cultural factors and other environment-based experiences is easily neglected if not overlooked. This volume provides a more balanced view of the nature (brain)-nurture (culture/environment) interaction. It shows that throughout life, brain and culture influence and modify each other. The metaphor of biocultural co-construction is meant to solidify this approach.
