Redirect to disambiguation not cognitive psychology[edit]

The entire field of cognitive science, vs. a subfield of psychology claims a cognitive approach. So a redirect to a disambiguation is more appropriate.

Note that both cognitive science[1][2] and cognitive psychology[3] (as well as other disciplines) claim to take a cognitive approach. Dpleibovitz (talk) 02:58, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Given that simulated environments have no direct contact with the real world, they appear to fall unambiguously into the Classical/Cognitive Approach far more than they do into the environmentally Embodied Approach.

Perhaps expand to article[edit]

The phrase cognitive approach means several different things to several different fields, themselves organized in different ways. In some universities, cognitive science studies are within the psychology department. In some, under computer science. In Carleton University, it is its own department/institution separate from psychology which grew out of the interdisciplinary institute - where interdisciplinary is a defining characteristic of cognitive science and explains why finding its home is problematic. If I was into taking ownership, I would have redirected this to cognitive science, but certainly cognitive psychology cannot claim ownership of this term. The above references could help start an article. But please to not redirect to cognitive psychology unless you have a better citable claim. Dpleibovitz (talk) 02:58, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
