TL;DR: In this paper, the implications of Albert Bandura's theory of the self-system for the disputed question of the status of folk psychology are examined, and it is concluded that the cognitive revolution in learning theory and behavior therapy is making its own distinctive contribution to the new philosophical psychology emerging from the cognitive revolutions in psychology as a whole.

TL;DR: The separation of the disciplines of perceptual psychology and musical analysis has been highlighted by as discussed by the authors, who argues that although it would be useful for such assumptions to be subjected to rigorous psychological testing, the assumptions themselves are not to be dismissed as evidence of the way the mind understands music.
Abstract: Written by a musician untrained in psychology, this article draws attention to problems arising from the separation of the disciplines of perceptual psychology and musical analysis. Psychologists are apt to make prescriptions about the nature of music based on a narrow and often primitive understanding of the medium. Musicians, on the other hand, are in the habit of basing analysis on sweeping assumptions about the nature of perception for which there is little experimental evidence. The author argues, however, that although it would be useful for such assumptions to be subjected to rigorous psychological testing, the assumptions themselves are not to be dismissed as evidence of the way the mind understands music.

TL;DR: The relevance of a Kuhnian analysis of the history of psychology is discussed in this article, where the authors argue that such an interpretation is inappropriate, misleading, incomplete, and damaging to the future of psychology.
Abstract: The relevance of a Kuhnian analysis of the history of psychology is discussed. Although the history of psychology can be interpreted as a series of revolutions against established paradigms, with each revolution being followed by a period of normal science, the argument is advanced that such an interpretation is inappropriate, misleading, incomplete, and damaging to the future of psychology. Revolutionary and evolutionary aspects of cognitive psychology are discussed in relation to behaviorism particularly in regard to active versus passive models, mentalistic constructs and knowledge versus stimulus-response associations. Finally, three problems confronting cognitive psychology are analyzed: the meaning of knowledge, the relationship between cognitive psychology and neuroscience, and the tendency of cognitive psychologists to ignore problems of emotion and motivation.

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of psychopoetics is presented, which relates psychoanalysis to poetics (or literary semiotics) and suggests that psychoanalysts and poeticians, because of a natural distrust for the anti-mentalistic bias of behaviorist psychology, have been show in taking full advantage of the pro-mentalism, process-oriented views of cognitive scientists in cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence.

TL;DR: Graumann and Sommer as mentioned in this paper provided a broad, general analysis of cognitive social psychology that should be of interest to many contemporary scholars, and several of their criticisms concerning how these concepts have been used are particularly insightful.
Abstract: Graumann and Sommer have provided a broad, general analysis of cognitive social psychology that should be of interest to many contemporary scholars. They have done an admirable job of relating schemata (structure) and inference (process) within the larger context of information processing, and several of their criticisms concerning how these concepts have been used are particularly insightful. Because their review is long and occasionally technical, we will limit our own discussion to what we believe to be the most important issues it raises.
