Experimental cognitive psychology fifty years later: the crisis of the information-processing paradigm

This text presents a discussion about the cognitive revolution in Psychology and the questions about its theory and methodology, which appear to culminate in an attempt to make knowledge as a natural matter, and present difficulty in integrating experimentation, computer modeling of the mind and neuroscience. Three alternative/complementary approaches to information-processing are presented: computational, neurosciences and ecological psychology.
