Great work! Tracing the history of this beautiful subject does much to help bring it to the awareness of the layperson or non-expert creating more legitimacy in it as a subject to the public. Cognitive science is a science!

The lack of legitimacy is not an imagined made-up fear of lay non-expert people. It has been in the news that over half of psych papers are not reproducible. Maybe thats why people have a hard time accepting related fields as science. Sure, its always better to counter flawed science with better science. But if half of your accepted papers are not reproducible then it does cast a doubt on whether its a science to begin with.

Thank you!!!

There just was a publication in "nature human behavior" about "what happened to cognitive science?". Recommend the read and joining the conversation.

One of the authors posted the PDF on GitHub: https://github.com/rdgao/WH2CogSci/blob/master/nunezetal_fin...
