Postcognitivism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Psychological movements are considered to be post-cognitivist if they are opposed or move beyond the cognitivist theories posited by Noam Chomsky, Jerry Fodor, David Marr and others.

Examples of postcognivist propositions:

• connectionism
• discursive psychology
• Dynamicism
• embodied cognition
• situated cognition
• behavior analysis
• distributed cognition
• autopoesis
• ecological psychology
• direct realism
