Abstract
Social cognition has become a popular term, but most work under this banner applies individualistic psychology to "social" content. In contrast, Katherine Nelson's new book reframes cognition from a sociocentric perspective. Nelson presents a largely Vygotskian theory of early childhood cognitive development, describing how sociocultural context mediates cognition.
