This paper provides an overview of some recent research on how culture is causally implicated in the understanding of human cognition. In particular, I review studies on the influence of culture on short‐term memory, visual perception, grammar, numerical cognition, and language evolution. I also provide a list of desiderata for research methodologies on the connections between culture and cognition and a direction for future research.
