To the vast majority of academic psychologists in the 1980s, the
study of cognition referred to that area of psychology known as
'cognitive psychology'. The major basis of this area had been the
computer metaphor with its accompanying notion of the individual as
an information-processing system. Yet within the field the study of
cognition is much broader and has a history that reaches into
antiquity, whereas 'cognitive psychology' as information-processing
psychology had only recently become the standard bearer of
cognitive studies. One of the purposes of this volume, originally
published in 1986, was to articulate some of the fundamental
distinctions between and concordances among different orientations
concerning the study of cognition. The collection includes chapters
on information processing, ecological, Gestalt, physiological, and
operant psychology.
