Noam Chomsky
Noam Chomsky (1928–), an influential American linguist, played a pivotal role in the early days of the cognitive revolution. Dissatisfied with behaviorism's dominance in psychology, he argued that its exclusive focus on external behavior was short-sighted. Chomsky advocated for re-incorporating the study of mental functioning into psychology to provide meaningful contributions to understanding behavior. He is also known for conceptualizing the notion that language arises in part from innate structures in our brain (Universal grammar).

Cognitive Science as an Interdisciplinary Field
Imagine two psychologists are studying how a rat learns to navigate a maze. The first psychologist, working in the 1940s, focuses exclusively on the rat's speed, number of errors, and the specific sequence of turns it makes. A second psychologist, working in the 1960s after a major shift in the field's dominant perspective, would be more interested in which aspect of the rat's performance?
