- A new paradigm in cognitive psychology | Encefalus - However, there is a serious objection. The mind has evolved in order to face the challenges of the natural world.

In this article (Cognitive Ethology: A new approach for studying human cognition) he defends his opinion that we need a new field called Cognitive Ethology.
