images, or to neutralize

Socio-Cultural Perspective
The socio-cultural approach is based on the idea that society
and culture shape cognition. Social customs, beliefs, values,
and language are all part of what shapes a person's identity
and reality. According to this approach, what a person
thinks is based on his or her socio-cultural background. A
socio-cultural approach takes into account more than the
individual in attempting to understand cognitive processes.
