Abstract
Various kinds of structures—schemas or demons—continually examine the data pool, looking for relevant information. Essentially, each schema looks for the configuration of data relevant to it, and to others. There is continual communication among schemas, and there might be other communications and decision-making structures. One major concern of cognitive psychologists is the interaction of data-driven and conceptually driven processes. A very important analysis in cognitive psychology is that provided by Sternberg’s additive factors method. This method, although powerful, makes the assumption that each stage completes its operation before it sends information on to the next stage. The net input into cognitive psychology, to an excellent first approximation, has been zero. It appears that some kinds of evidence are simply not acceptable, because they use tools and techniques that do not fit elegantly into particular paradigms with which cognitive psychologists are concerned.
