认知能力测试（CAT）中的黑白差异通常由隐含的生物或环境哲学观点中固有的假设来解释。有人认为，这些观点是基于文化的概念化不足。因此，两者都不能提供关于跨种族或族裔群体的考试成绩的文化等效性（意义）的有用信息。文化主义的观点是作为一种替代调查种族文化的影响，使用欧洲中心和非洲中心的文化层面的CATs。本文还讨论了从文化主义的角度研究计算机辅助翻译中的文化对等的意义和建议。
Black-White differences in performance on cognitive ability tests (CATs) typically have been explained by assumptions inherent in the implicit biological or environmental philosophical perspectives. It is argued that these perspectives are based on deficient conceptualizations of culture. Consequently, neither can provide useful information about the cultural equivalence (meaning) of test scores across racial or ethnic groups. The culturalist perspective is presented as an alternative for investigating racial cultural influences on CATs using Eurocentric and Afrocentric cultural dimensions. Implications and recommendations for examining cultural equivalence in CATs from a culturalist perspective are discussed.
