Abstract
Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary field which aims to
understand the mind. Pioneering research over the past 60
years has yielded significant advances in describing the
architecture of cognition. However, we suggest that the rate
of progress seen in the last century may not be sustainable.
While a central feature of natural phenomena is their
redundancy, the defining feature of the mind is its
complexity. Future research efforts may meet with
diminishing returns, as informational redundancy in
cognitive processes becomes increasingly difficult to
identify.
