Even if scholars do not fully subscribe to this assumption, they often conceptualize, or tend to investigate, cognition as if it were universal (Henrich, Heine, {\&} Norenzayan, 2010). The insight that universality must not be presupposed but scrutinized is now gaining ground, and cognitive diversity has become one of the hot (and controversial) topics in the field (Norenzayan {\&} Heine, 2005). We argue that, for scrutinizing the cultural dimension of cognition, taking an anthropological perspective is invaluable, not only for the task itself, but for attenuating the home-field disadvantages that are inescapably linked to cross-cultural research (Medin, Bennis, {\&} Chandler, 2010).}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 35th annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Society}}, editor = {Knauff, Markus and Pauen, Michael and Sebanz, Natalie and Wachsmuth, Ipke}, pages = {67--68}, address = {Berlin}, note = {CogSci 2013: the 35th annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Society}, }
