Well, I don't want to name names. Problem is, naming topics is just
as incriminating. Memory theory is at least highly
developed. Whether it's close to right is another matter. Analogy, judgement,
reasoning, concept formation etc. are in awful shape, as far as I'm concerned. 
I have seen little in those areas that I would recognize as a theory...
and they have been my central areas of interest, so it's not as though
I'm not familiar with their literature. What more can I say?
