A cognição é demasiadamente importante para acontecer só no cérebro: A memória social e as suas vicissitudes

Neste Seminário, Leonel Garcia Marques discutirá se os processos cognitivos ocorrem necessariamente a nível individual, procurando argumentar que os processos subjacentes à memória individual podem ser partilhados socialmente e que a possibilidade de processamento distribuído traz uma nova luz à cognição individual e social.

The actual personal and sociocultural reasons behind these migration projects remain largely invisible.
