Mistakes in Thinking about Cognitive Science and How to Reduce Them

“Mistakes in scientific thinking tend to be subtle—scientists would hardly make them if they weren't.” In a new eNeuro collection Improving your Neuroscience, Johnson-Laird’s commentary aims to show that cognitive scientists sometimes make mistakes in thinking and describe a method to help improve accuracy and speed of reasoning.

Beyond the Paper

On the eNeuro blog, co-first authors Paulo Ávila-Gómez, Yuto Shingai, and Sabyasachi Dash discuss what made their collaboration successful and provide thoughtful advice for early career researchers.
