Nisbett and colleagues found that individuals from East Asian cultures tend to have a more holistic cognitive style, focusing on the context and relationships between objects, while individuals from Western cultures tend to have a more analytic cognitive style, focusing on discrete objects and categories. Therefore, Michiko, who lives in Japan, is likely to have a more holistic cognitive style, while Krystal, who lives in the United States, is likely to have a more analytic cognitive style.Choice C, "a holistic; an analytic," reflects this prediction.
