"The two essays in Part IV, Nadia Pawelchak’s “Medieval Art History and Neuroscience: An Introduction” and Jeff Rider’s “Spoons, Whorls, and Caroles: How Medieval Artefacts Can Help Keep Your Brain on Its Toes,” both consider the cognitive aspects of engagement with medieval material culture; Pawelchak through a reading of how medieval audiences may have responded to a scene carved into an ivory mirror case and Rider through an analysis of a modern audience’s cognitive engagement with medieval objects. Pawelchak convincingly argues that neuroscience can construct potential cognitive maps for medieval subjects without flattening out the differences in the brains of individual people, drawing on reception theory’s construction of hypothetical audiences with different “cognitive styles,” and models what a range of responses to the same artefact might look like (200)."
