An Ecological Approach to Cognitive Science{1}

[1] Cognitive science is ready for a major reconceptualization.(1) This is not at all because efforts by its practitioners have failed, but rather because so much progress has been made. The need for reconceptualization arises from the fact that this progress has come at greater cost than necessary, largely because of more or less philosophical (at least metatheoretical) straightjackets still worn whether wittingly or not by those doing the work.
