Abstract

Cognitive science has made remarkable strides in understanding cognition and behaviour. However, a critical issue persists. Most studies focus on PRIME populations - young adults who are productive, researchable, independent, mobile, and educated. While convenient, the overreliance on them has profound implications for generalising research findings and addressing global challenges.
