@GaryMarcus Can you suggest some good book(s) on Cognitive Science that you feel every AI - ML researcher should have read at least once? -- I am aware of "How the Mind Works" by Steven Pinker and it is a wonderful one. Any other that you highly recommend, to complement/supplement Pinker?

Samples of bad cognitive science common on X:

👉 All the virulent anti-nativism that runs throughout ML.

👉 The lack of understanding of semantics and cognitive models

👉 The wacky idea that some single mechanism will capture all of cognition.

👉 Behaviorism

👉 Assumption…
