Abstract
Recent developments inspired by cognitive science have significant implications for the sociologi cal study of religion. Studies in cognitive anthropology and related fields such as neuroscience, cogni tive psychology, and linguistics clarify the processes by which information is structured, given mean ing, and remembered. This work provides new concepts and techniques for investigating topics that have long been central to the study of religion, including cultural schemas, metaphors, and narratives. These topics hold special promise for applications to the study of religious identity, practice, and expe rience.
