The search for the 'furniture of the mind' has acquired added
impetus with the rise of new technologies to study the brain and
identify its main structures and processes. Philosophers and
scientists are increasingly concerned to understand the ways in
which psychological functions relate to brain structures.
Meanwhile, the taxonomic practices of cognitive scientists are
coming under increased scrutiny, as researchers ask which of them
identify the real kinds of cognition and which are mere vestiges of
folk psychology. Muhammad Ali Khalidi present a naturalistic
account of 'real kinds' to validate some central taxonomic
categories in the cognitive domain, including concepts, episodic
memory, innateness, domain specificity, and cognitive bias. He
argues that cognitive kinds are often individuated relationally,
with reference to the environment and etiology of the thinking
subject, whereas neural kinds tend to be individuated
intrinsically, resulting in crosscutting relationships among
cognitive and neural categories.
