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.
