--- abstract: "In this review of Giere's Cognitive Models of Science (1992), underlying theoretical assumptions of cognitive models are examined from a psychological and philosophical viewpoint. In particular, the aim of the book to constitute a unified cognitive model for the sciences is addressed. The ambiguity of cognitive processes is discussed as a major problem for cognitive explanations of science theory from a Kantian point of view." altloc: - http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/cgi/psyc/newpsy?5.71 - http://psycprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/archive/00000430/ chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Dittrich given: W.H. honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1994 date_type: published datestamp: 2002-08-12 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/03/70 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 370 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/text_html.png;/370/1/newpsy.html full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: "philosophy of science, epistemology, Kant's critique, cognitive models, empiricism, social approach, historical school, folk psychology, theory-of-mind approach" lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:53:51 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 71 pagerange: 11 pubdom: FALSE publication: Psycoloquy publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: |+ Barsalou, L.W.
