Your Definition
A field that applies sociological methods to the interdisciplinary cluster of cognitive science—psychology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and philosophy of mind. It examines how cognitive science emerged as a discipline, how its core assumptions (e.g., the computational theory of mind) became dominant, how research agendas are set, and how interdisciplinary collaboration actually works. It also studies the social dynamics within cognitive science: status hierarchies between subfields, the role of prestigious institutions, and the exclusion of alternative approaches (e.g., embodied, enactive, or ecological psychology).
