- I'm sure you don't want to name names, but what areas of cognitive psychology
- do you have in mind? Cog psych seems to be doing a pretty good job in
- memory, analogy, and judgement IMO (perception, too, from what I hear).
-
- If there's blame to be laid, I'd place it at the unwillingness of all
- subdisciplines of cog sci to pay more attention to each other (I'm
- guilty of largely ignoring neuroscience for one). I also wish anthropology
- played a more active role. A review of the CYC project by a cognitive
- anthropologist would be very interesting, for example.
