The brain as the dominant actor in the determination of human behavior is at risk of fostering the view that the brain is in full control. The potential consequence of a predominant brain-based view is that the role of cultural factors and other environment-based experiences is easily neglected if not overlooked. This volume provides a more balanced view of the nature (brain)-nurture (culture/environment) interaction. It shows that throughout life, brain and culture influence and modify each other. The metaphor of biocultural co-construction is meant to solidify this approach.

Paul B. Baltes is noted for his theoretical and empirical work in developmental psychology and the interdisciplinary study of human aging. Aside from multiple honorary doctorates, and election to academies, he has received numerous awards including the International Psychology Award of the American Psychological Association, the Lifetime Achievement Award of the German Psychological Society, and the Aristotle Prize of the European Federation of Psychological Associations. Patricia Reuter-Lorenz is noted for her research on the neuropsychological mechanisms of attention and working memory, in particular, through her work with special patient populations, functional brain imaging, and normal human aging. She is co-founder of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, has served on its governing board since its inception, and serves on the editorial boards of leading journals in the field. Frank Rösler is noted for his research on biological correlates of cognitive processes, in particular, memory, learning, imagery, language, and neural plasticity. He received several awards, among others the Max-Planck/Humboldt prize for international cooperation and he has been elected as full member in two Academies of Sciences in Germany.
